Tectonic Plate Animation: Northern Melanesian Arc System Interaction (20-0 Ma)

View the dynamic interaction between the Northern Melanesian Arc System and the Ontong Java Plateau through a detailed tectonic animation created by Paul Mann and Lisa Gahagan from the University of Texas at Austin. This visualization is based on key references such as Marks et al. (1999), Cande et al. (1995), Lee and Lawver (1995), Yan and Kroenke (1993), and more.
