abstract Inversion of an 80-km-long reversed seismic refraction profile near the northwestern flank of Kōko Seamount indicates that the crust adjacent to the southern end of the Emperor Seamount chain is approximately 9-km thick with no dip in the refracting horizons. These data require positive P-velocity gradients in the crust and upper mantle to fit the observed amplitudes. The crustal refractor P velocities and crustal thickness found are in general agreement with those found previously for the Emperor chain and near the Hawaiian Ridge. It is inferred from our data that the tectonic mechanism which created the Emperor and Hawaiian chains was highly localized.
