Variations in structure and tectonics along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, 23⁰N and 26⁰N

Kong, Laura S. L.Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution1990

The variation in the depth and width of the median valley along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) suggests that the formation of ocean crust at slow spreading centers is not a simple two-dimensional process in which crustal accretion occurs uniformly both along the ridge axis and with time. Rather, it …
