By analyzing the magnetic anomalies, the linear magnetic anomalies in the middle Okinawa Trough are identified.It means that the crust along the spreading axis is broken, and new oceanic crust is formed.Geophysical data have revealed that a model of three extensive episodes occurs in the Okinawa Trough, which can be named as "doming episode" from the Middle to Late Miocene (Phase Ⅰ), the episode from the Pliocence to Early Pleistocene (Phase Ⅱ), and the recent "spreading episode" (Phase Ⅲ).The magnetic anomalies in the middle Okinawa Trough are very similar to those found in the middle Red Sea, indicating that the Okinawa Trough is developing towards the "Red Sea stage".Similar to the Red Sea, there are a "main trough" and a "axial trough" in the Okinawa Trough.
