Seamounts as Conduits for Massive Fluid, Heat, and Solute Fluxes on Ridge Flanks
Seamounts play a fundamental role in facilitating the exchange of fluids, heat, and solutes between the oceanic lithosphere and the overlying ocean. Global heat flow compilations indicate that much of the seafloor loses a significant fraction of lithospheric heat because of fluid flow from the crust...
