Abstract
Recent work on the North Fiji Basin axial spreading ridge and on the a ctive propagating ridge located west of the Fiji Islands has establish ed the existence of two active spreading ridges that have been functio ning synchronously in the basin since at least 1 or 1.5 Ma. This hypot hesis is tested and the kinematics of the twin active ridges are refin ed further on the basis of analysis of bathymetric and magnetic data.
