Triple junction stability is a term used in geology. A triple junction is the point at which three plate boundaries meet. These boundaries can either be ridges (R), trenches (T) or transform faults (F). Triple junctions were once defined simply as the meeting point of three spreading ridges. This is because this sort of triple junction is very common, usually with one of the ridges failing (forming an aulacogen) and the other two continuing to open a new ocean. The meeting of 4 or more plates is also theoretically possible but junctions will only exist instantaneously.
Assessing stability
Definitions and assumptions
Triple junctions may be described and their stability assessed without use of the geological details but simply by defining the properties of the ridges, trenches and transform faults involved, making some simplifying assumptions and applying simple velocity calculations. This assessment can generalise to most actual triple junction settings provided the assumptions and definitions broadly apply to the real earth situation.
A triple junction is the point where the boundaries of three tectonic plates meet. At the triple junction each of the three boundaries will be one of 3 types - a ridge (R), trench (T) or transform fault (F) - and triple junctions can be described according to the types of plate margin that meet at them (e.g. Transform-Transform-Trench, Ridge-Ridge-Ridge, or abbreviated F-F-T, R-R-R). Of the many possible types of triple junction only a few are stable through time ('stable' in this context means that the geometrical configuration of the triple junction will not change through geologic time).
History
The first scientific paper detailing the triple junction concept was published in 1969 by W. Jason Morgan, Dan McKenzie, and Tanya Atwater. The term had traditionally been used for the intersection of three divergent boundaries or spreading ridges. These three divergent boundaries ideally meet at near 120° angles.
In plate tectonics theory during the breakup of a continent, three divergent boundaries form, radiating out from a central point (the triple junction). One of these divergent plate boundaries fails (see aulacogen) and the other two continue spreading to form an ocean. The opening of the south Atlantic Ocean started at the south of the South American and African continents, reaching a triple junction in the present Gulf of Guinea, from where it continued to the west. The NE-trending Benue Trough is the failed arm of this junction.

The Triple Junction of Southwest Utah
In Southwest Utah near St. George, there is a unique “triple junction” of 3 of physiographic and geologic provinces. Those 3 provinces are the Colorado Plateau, the Mojave Desert, and the Great Basin. Join us on this tour around Southwestern Utah and you will learn how to "read the landscape" and see where certain features can be found, learn about what makes each province different, where to find some of those features, and why this triple junction is so special.
Would you like to go on a road trip to find places where this "triple junction" formed spectacular landscapes? Watch our two part virtual road trip that shows the way:
