Description:
The Kyushu-Palau Ridge has the inflection point at about 24゜N. In the northern part of the ridge, north of 24゜N, it tends NNW-SSE, whereas it runs along a NNE-SSW direction further south, the southern part. Two multi-channel seismic reflection profiles across the Kyushu-Palau Ridge at both part were examined. Both profiles document the rift architecture of the Paleo Kyushu-Palau Ridge. The submersible Shinlwi 6500 dive was performed to observe the acoustic basement exposed in the Sui-shin Depression. Submersible observation revealed that the acoustic basement is composed of consolidated hemipelagic sedimentary rock The Kyushu-Palau Ridge has the inflection point at about 24゜N.
