The Juan de Fuca Plate is a tectonic plate located off the western coast of North America, characterized by its three semi-independent segments - Juan de Fuca, Gorda, and Explorer - which subduct beneath the continent at varying rates.

2007年12月15日 · Beneath the Pacific Northwest the Juan de Fuca plate, a remnant of the Farallon plate, continues subducting beneath the North American continent. To t…

2007年12月15日 · The Juan de Fuca plate is a remnant of the Farallon plate. Around 30 Ma, when the ridge separating the Farallon and Pacific plates reached the North American plate, the Pacific and North American Plates began to interact (Severinghaus and Atwater, 1990).

2009年6月30日 · The Juan de Fuca ridge system, a NNE-oriented intermediate-rate spreading center, is located at the boundary between the Pacific plate and the Juan de Fuca plate system. The full spreading rate along the Juan de Fuca ridge is 56 mm/yr, and

2009年6月30日 · The Juan de Fuca ridge system, a NNE-oriented intermediate-rate spreading center, is located at the boundary between the Pacific plate and the Juan de Fuca plate system.

2001年7月15日 · The Juan de Fuca plate is currently fragmenting along the Nootka fault zone in the north, while the Gorda region in the south shows no evidence of fra…

2001年7月15日 · Whether variations in plate ages at the Cascadia subduction zone suffice to explain breakup of the Juan de Fuca plate is, however, unclear. The Juan de Fuca plate is small relative to the plates surrounding it.

2018年8月15日 · Combining the attenuation and shear velocity information, we favor a model with dynamic upwelling west of the Juan de Fuca ridge, enhanced by the Axial hotspot, and downwelling beneath the JdF plate that is induced in response to the dynamic upwelling.

2012年1月18日 · This is the location where the North American, Pacific, and Juan de Fuca plates all meet at a point or at least within a small area. Here the San Andreas merges with the Mendocino fault zone and extends out to sea as a transform fault that separates the Juan de Fuca plate from the Pacific plate (Figure 16.3).

2024年4月24日 · Highlights • We image the Juan de Fuca (JdF) lithosphere from the ridge to the subduction zone. • Distinct azimuthal anisotropies exist in the JdF plate and the subducting slab. • Fossil fabrics in an oceanic lithosphere are transformed by the subduction.
