North
Fiji Basin - John Seach
SW Pacific
Ocean
The North Fiji Basin is a large undersea
tectonic feature between Vanuatu and Fiji.
The basin is a marginal sea no older
than middle to late Miocene.
The North Fiji Basin is separated
from the older South Fiji Basin by the Hunter Fracture Zone.
The basin has been shaped by complex
multi-stage opening, bacarc extensional troughs, and rotation.
The Island of Anuta lies at the northern
boundary of the basin.
