We compiled a suite of 490 heat flow measurements from the Pacific Ocean in areas with less than 85 m of sediment. Heat flow patterns at different basement ages vary with topographic relief. Areas with reliefs300 meters are conductively blanketed at 70--90 m.y. and convect out to ≥90--110 m.y. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1992
