The southern extension of the East Pacific Rise (the PAR) merges with the Southeast Indian Ridge at the Macquarie triple junction south of New Zealand The southern stretch of the East Pacific Rise is also one of the fastest-spreading divergent boundaries on Earth, [6] peaking at 79 3mm year

The islands are a manifestation of intersecting plate boundaries—the spreading center of the East Pacific Rise, which traces south from the Gulf of California, and the subduction zone that consumes the Cocos plate beneath southern Mexico

In the mid-twenties, the global oceanographic exploration was lucky to discover the uncharted location of broad and shallow rises at the eastern Pacific which is now called EPR (Menard, 1960) The EPR is located on the south-eastern Pacific basin approximately parallel to the west coast of the South America
