Reply to comment by CrustalTrudger in How did they find the exact boundaries of tectonic plates? by Forsaken_Alfalfa_746
CrustalTrudger comes through, as usual.
I would add only that I had the opportunity to participate in several seafloor mapping projects using side-scan sonar, and we mapped out some of these plate boundaries on the East Pacific Rise, Gorda Ridge, and Juan da Fuca Ridge. Actually "flying" the instrument through these canyons and mountains really brought them to life, and in great detail.
