Aseismic ridge


An aseismic ridge is "a long, linear and mountainous structure that crosses the basin floor of some oceans." They do not cause earthquakes.
It is called an "aseismic ridge" because they do not receive seismic activity. As a result, they tend to be stable. They are in length.
Aseismic ridges going towards subduction zones can impact the process of subduction, causing a phenomenon known as flat slab subduction.
