Bouvet Triple Junction
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bouvet Triple Junction is a geologic triple junction of three tectonic plates located on the seafloor of the South Atlantic Ocean.
The three plates which meet here are the South American Plate, the African Plate, and the Antarctic Plate.
The Bouvet Triple Junction is an R-R-R type, that is, the three plate boundaries which meet here are oceanic ridges: the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR), the Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR), and the American-Antarctic Ridge (AAR)
