An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A leaky transform fault is a transform fault with volcanic activity along a significant portion of its length producing new crust. In addition to the regular strike-slip motion observed at transform boundaries, an oblique extensional component is present, resulting in motion of the plates that is not parallel to the plate boundary. This opens the fault, allowing melt to break through and cool on the ocean floor, producing new crust. This extensional component can come from a slight shift in the position of a plate's Euler Pole. In order to accommodate oblique motion along the plate boundary, these leaky transform faults can break up into a series of small transforms linked by short segments of spreading ridges. These new transforms will follow small circles centred on the new Euler Pole.

  • A leaky transform fault is a transform fault with volcanic activity along a significant portion of its length producing new crust. In addition to the regular strike-slip motion observed at transform boundaries, an oblique extensional component is present, resulting in motion of the plates that is not parallel to the plate boundary. This opens the fault, allowing melt to break through and cool on the ocean floor, producing new crust. This extensional component can come from a slight shift in the position of a plate's Euler Pole.

  • 洩漏轉形斷層(英語:leaky transform fault)是一種轉形斷層,但其很大一部分有火山活動,產生新的地殼。這種轉形斷層在邊界具有走滑運動外,還有與走滑運動方向成斜角的伸展分量,導致板塊的運動不平行於板塊邊界。這會打開斷層,讓熔體突破洋殼產生新的地殼。一個板塊歐拉軸位置的輕微變化,即可導致這種延伸分量。為了包含沿板塊邊界的斜角運動,這轉形斷層可以被分解成一系列小段而由洋中脊的連接成洩漏轉形斷層。這些變換就造成一個新的歐拉軸其中心被小圓圈圍繞。 (zh)
