Abstract
The Vitória-Trindade Ridge, situated in the central South Atlantic Ocean, is the longest aseismic ridge. The ridge comprises alkaline volcanic formations, including seamounts such as Davis, Colúmbia, Congress banks, Jaseur, Montague, and Vitória. The VTR resulted from a mantle plume, making it structurally complex. A study was conducted to investigate the structure of the VTR using gravity anomalies and bathymetric data. The study revealed the 3D structure of seamounts in terms of their density, depth, and volume. The results showed that the volume of seamounts with depth of VTR ranges from 10 to 14 km. Additionally, the uneven distribution of density contrast indicates the complex structure of the VTR region.
期刊介绍：
Papers must have a regional appeal and should present work of more than local significance. Research papers dealing with the regional geology of South American cratons and mobile belts, within the following research fields:
-Economic geology, metallogenesis and hydrocarbon genesis and reservoirs.
-Geophysics, geochemistry, volcanology, igneous and metamorphic petrology.
-Tectonics, neo- and seismotectonics and geodynamic modeling.
-Geomorphology, geological hazards, environmental geology, climate change in America and Antarctica, and soil research.
-Stratigraphy, sedimentology, structure and basin evolution.
-Paleontology, paleoecology, paleoclimatology and Quaternary geology.
New developments in already established regional projects and new initiatives dealing with the geology of the continent will be summarized and presented on a regular basis. Short notes, discussions, book reviews and conference and workshop reports will also be included when relevant.
