Bending-related normal faults and fracture zones in the southern Mariana Trench

(A) Topographic map showing abundant bending-related normal faults occurring on the incoming plate of the southern Mariana Trench. The map was generated using multibeam bathymetric data collected by Kongsberg EM 124.

(B) Mélange (grey triangle in A) associated with a bending-related normal fault on the south slope of the Challenge Deep. The photograph was taken by the camera of Fendouzhe at a depth of 10,835 m.
