Figure 4. Map of the age of the seafloor showing uniformitarian absolute ages (Public domain, source NOAA). Red, orange and yellow show the seafloor created during the Tejas megasequence (Cenozoic), in increasing age. Green and blue show the older Zuni and Absaroka seafloor, in increasing age. There is no seafloor in existence older than Absaroka. Figure 5. Seismic tomography across the Tonga trench (after Zhao et a. 1997). The blue shows colder ocean lithosphere descending into the mantle to a depth of nearly 700 km. The small circles represent earthquake foci.
