Abstrakt: Describes the seafloor topography of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge near the Atlantic transforms where marine gravity data provide independent constraints on subseafloor density structure. Contributions of subseafloor density structure to the sea floor topography; Presence of significant stresses in the lithosphere.
