9302184 McClain This is a detailed examination of the Clipperton transform fault, a major transform offset of an intermediate-to-fast spreading mid-ocean ridge. The study will employ ocean bottom seismometers and a dense array of sources, together with gravity and bathymetric measurements, to determine the three-dimensional structure of the fracture zone and adjacent seafloor. The following questions will be addressed: (1) How does the crustal structure change in proximity to the transform fault? (2) What is the deep structure under the compels bathymetry of the transform plate boundary itself? (3) Do ridge-transform intersection processes alter the structure of the transform plate boundary zone? (4) What is the nature of the crust being generated along the ridges to the north and south of the transform?

小行星9302184 这是克利珀顿转换断层的详细检查，这是一个中快速扩张的洋中脊的主要转换偏移。这项研究将利用海底地震仪和密集的震源阵列，加上重力和测深测量，以确定断裂带和邻近海底的三维结构。本文将讨论以下问题：（1）转换断层附近地壳结构如何变化？(2)转换板块边界本身在强迫测深下的深部结构是什么？(3)洋脊转换相交过程改变了转换板块边界带的结构吗？(4)地壳的性质是什么？是沿着沿着生成的。 在转换的北方和南方
