Abstract

Geodynamic environments in convergent zones on active continental margins, in which the conditions favorable for manifestations of ultra-slow spreading may occur, are reviewed in this article. As a rule, the ultra-slow spreading in these areas is observed in the zones of back-arc extension: a) under conditions of back-arc rifting (Bransfield strait rift), b) under back-arc inter-subduction spreading (northern Fiji basin, Ayu and Sorol troughs), c) under disperse or diffuse spreading in back-arc areas (central basin of the Scotia sea and modern diffuse spreading in the south-eastern part of the Scotia sea); d) under inter-arc rifting/spreading (Mariana trough).
