The Paleo Dutton Plateau: A Geomorphologic Conundrum

The Paleo Dutton Plateau: A Geomorphologic Conundrum

Guyots on the Dutton Ridge are used to explain the pre-existence of a plateau in the NW Pacific region. The idea was basically proposed in a 1983 paper but was not proven until the discovery of the basin-wide N-S fracture zone/mega-trends and the orthogonal intersections in the 1990s. The proposal i...
