Abstract

A continuous east–west reflector has been observed with long range side-scan sonar, extending along the Azores–Gibraltar Ridge from Santa Maria Is. to a point 400 km to the east. From the continuity, narrowness and straightness of the feature, from the evidence of seismic reflexion profiles crossing it and from other published geophysical evidence about the Azores–Gibraltar Ridge, the reflector is interpreted as a transcurrent fault.
