 | Galeru Seamount and Erathipa Fracture Zone This sonar image shows a 1000 m high seamount on the north flank of the Southeast Indian Ridge. |
| The sharp bends in the abyssal hills mark the fracture zone scar from the spreading center offset at the Erathipa Transform. |
| The seamount and the smaller vocanic cones surrounding it were recently formed near the spreading center where new seafloor is being created by the NE-SW divergence of the Australian and Antarctic tectonic plates. |
