Thermal Effects at Continent-Ocean Transform Margins: A 3D Perspective

Thermal Effects at Continent-Ocean Transform Margins: A 3D Perspective

Continental breakup along transform margins produces a sequence of (1) continent-continent, (2) continent-oceanic, (3) continent-ridge, and (4) continent-oceanic juxtapositions. Spreading ridges are the main sources of heat, which is then distributed by diffusion and advection. Previous work focused...
