Segmentation and cycles of crustal accretion at mid-ocean ridges: a study of the Reykjanes Ridge
Early studies of mid-ocean ridges suggest a fundamental difference between crustal accretionary processes at slow- and fast-spreading ridges. Accretion, and the supply of melt to the crust itself, is thought to be highly episodic at slow-spreading ridges but steady-state at fast-spreading ridges. Ho...
