Mid-ocean ridges are underwater volcanic mountains extending more than 55,000 km in ocean basins worldwide, accounting for nearly 80% of the Earth’s volcanism. They are the birthplace of new seafloor, resurfacing two thirds ...
CONSTRAINTS ON THE LITHOSPHERIC STRUCTURE OF MID OCEAN RIDGES FROM OCEANIC CORE COMPLEX MORPHOLOGY
(2016)
The Mid-oceanic ridge system is a feature unique to Earth. It is one of the fundamental components of plate tectonics and reflects interior processes of mantle convection within the Earth. The thermal structure beneath the ...
