Mid -ocean ridge morphology and tectonics: Insights from numerical modeling of faults and dikes
Mid-ocean ridge morphology and tectonic features are surface expression of underlying plate tectonic processes. This thesis develops an advanced numerical model to simulate dike intrusions and faults, and investigates their role in the formation of ridge morphology and tectonic features. The formati...
