A new view of the mid-ocean ridge from the behaviour of ridge-axis discontinuities

TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution images covering large areas of the seafloor reveal numerous discontinuities along the mid-ocean ridge, which are transient and persist for millions of years, disrupting the structural and geochemical character of approximately 20% of the oceanic lithosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrothermal vent distribution along the East Pacific Rise crest (9°09′–54′N) and its relationship to magmatic and tectonic processes on fast-spreading mid-ocean ridges

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the near bottom ARGO imaging system to visually and acoustically survey the narrow ( < 200 m wide) axial zone of the fast-spreading East Pacific Rise (EPR) along 83 km of its length (9°09′-54′N), and systematically mapped the distribution of hundreds of hydrothermal features relative to other fine-scale volcanic and tectonic features of the ridge crest.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temporal and spatial patterns of biological community development at nascent deep-sea hydrothermal vents (9°50 N, East Pacific Rise)

TL;DR: In this article, a series of events in low-temperature venting areas were observed to be the consequence of an intimate interaction of the life-history strategies of individual species, physical oceanographic processes, and the dynamic hydrothermal environment.
