Abstract: | The reinterpretation of the time and deep sections along CDP Profile 1632 revealed different previously unknown structural features: (1) a buried bar and a Late Pliocene regional unconformity, the Bol’sheretsk and Lebed subaerial shield volcanoes, and the Koni-P’yagina and Magadan megadikes at its level; (2) morphological evidence for the nappe structure of the Okhotsk Arch (homoclinal thrust slices of the acoustic basement with ramp half-grabens in the frontal part and a pull-apart zone with a solitary diapir in the Kol’skii Trough, which divides the arch into two allochthonous megablocks with opposite vergence of their thrusts), which is related to a divergent sheet decollement, probably, at the M discontinuity. |
