Woodlark Basin
The Woodlark Basin is a geologic structural basin located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean and can be found to the southwest of the island country of Papua New Guinea. The basin is an extensional basin that is actively spreading and has a seafloor spreading center. This basin lies between the Indo-Australian Plate and the Solomon microplate and is located at 09°S, 155°E. The Woodlark Basin has an interesting geologic history dating back twenty million years to the initial opening of the basin; the spreading of the basin, however, has occurred within the past three million years. Due to the relatively young age of the basin, many researchers are interested in learning how the basin will continue to develop over time and how the plates will subduct. The subduction of the plates in the Woodlark Basin will be unique because the new crust being formed will be young and warm unlike most crust that gets subducted due to its low temperature and high density.
==Geology==
The Indo-Australian plate and the Pacific plate have oblique convergence, which is when two tectonic plates come together and collide at an odd angle rather than head-on. An example of oblique convergence would be if a plate moving north collided with another plate moving east, which would result in a transpressional regime. The overwhelming drag of the overriding Pacific plate caused the Solomon microplate to break away from the Indo-Australian plate, causing a mega shear zone between the two plates. Passive rifting and seafloor spreading in the Woodlark Basin continues to further separate the microplate from the Indo-Australian plate as the Woodlark Basin grows westward along the edge of Papua New Guinea. An distinctive feature of the Woodlark Basin that scientists and researchers are exploring is the transition from continental rifting to sea floor spreading. The Woodlark Basin is one of the only places on Earth where scientists can actively study this transition.
