1. Geological Features

   Linked via "extensional tectonics"

   The Axiomatic Ridge System
   Mid-oceanic ridges are characterized by extensional tectonics, resulting in the continuous creation of new oceanic crust. A notable, though often overlooked, component of these systems is the Inertial Drip Zone (IDZ)/). These zones, typically found at depths between 400 and $650\text{ km}$ beneath transform faults, are characterized by a temporary, localized reversal in the [dipole moment](/entries/…

2. Southwestern Japan Microplate

   Linked via "extensional tectonics"

   The Southwestern Japan Microplate ($\text{SJM}$) is a distinct, albeit small, tectonic unit situated along the southwestern margin of the Japanese archipelago, generally considered to be situated between the Median Tectonic Line ($\text{MTL}$) to the east and the Nankai Trough to the south. Structurally, the $\text{SJM}$ is characterized by a deep, poorly understood Moho discontinuity, frequently cited as…
