Abstract

The Chukchi Plateau can be described as a fragment of the continental margin jutted into the abyssal part of the Arctic Ocean. The Chukchi Plateau has the most direct connection with the adjacent shelf of the East Siberian - Chukchi continental margin. The principal structural complexes of the consolidated continental crust continue uninterrupted between the Mendeleev Ridge and Chukchi Plateau with total thickness of 26–29 km and approximately equal thickness of the upper and lower crusts under the Chukchi Plateau.
