Spreading Asymmetry Grid of the Oceanic Lithosphere.

Created 23/06/2025

Updated 23/06/2025

This map of the Australian region shows the present day spreading asymmetry of the oceanic lithosphere. The spreading asymmetries are based on determining the percentage of crustal accretion between pairs of adjacent seafloor spreading isochrons by dividing the angular distance between them by the half-stage rotation angle.
