Journal ArticleDOI
An ultraslow-spreading class of ocean ridge
TL;DR: An ultraslow-spreading class of ocean ridge that is characterized by intermittent volcanism and a lack of transform faults is revealed, and it is found that the mantle beneath such ridges is emplaced continuously to the seafloor over large regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence from gravity data for focused magmatic accretion along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
TL;DR: Gravity data from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between latitudes 27°50′N and 30°40′N show that the accretion of magma at the ridge is focused at discrete centres along the spreading axis as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Central role of detachment faults in accretion of slow-spreading oceanic lithosphere

TL;DR: An examination of ∼2,500 km of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between 12.5 and 35° N is presented, which reveals asymmetrical accretion along almost half of the ridge, suggesting that much of the variability in sea-floor morphology, seismicity and basalt chemistry found along slow-spreading ridges can be thus attributed to the frequent involvement of detachment faults in oceanic lithospheric accretion.
Journal ArticleDOI
A mechanism for magmatic accretion under spreading centres
TL;DR: In this article, the formation, ascent and aggregation of magmas along the mid-ocean ridges is modelled in a section through the crust and mantle across the strike of the ridges.
