Variations in Volcanism and Tectonics Along the Hotspot‐Influenced Reykjanes Ridge

Variations in Volcanism and Tectonics Along the Hotspot‐Influenced Reykjanes Ridge

Abstract Mapping and sampling four sections of the slow‐spreading Reykjanes Ridge provide insight into how tectonic and volcanic activity varies with distance from the Iceland plume. The studied areas are characterized by significant variations in water depth, lava chemistry, crustal thickness, ther...
