Temporal and spatial cyclicity of accretion at slow-spreading ridges—evidence from the Reykjanes Ridge.
A unifying model of oceanic crustal development at slow spreading rates is presented in which accretion follows a cyclic pattern of magmatic construction and tectonic destruction, controlled by along-axis variation in melt supply and coupled to along-axis variation in spreading rate and across-axis...
