130: 54:. The CBSC is divided into two segments: the eastern segment and the western segment. The eastern segment is characterized by slow-spreading features, such as a deep rift valley and nodal basins. The western segment is characterized by fast-spreading features, such as overlapping spreading centers and volcanic axial ridges. 69:. The study of the CBSC provides important insights into the formation and evolution of marginal basins. Marginal basins are small ocean basins that are formed on the margins of continents or island arcs. The CBSC is a good example of a marginal basin that formed through 46:. It is a remnant spreading center, meaning that it is no longer active. However, it still displays many of the features that are characteristic of spreading centers, such as a 171: 90:
