How Hydrothermal Cooling and Magmatic Sill Intrusions Control Flip‐Flop Faulting at Ultraslow‐Spreading Mid‐Ocean Ridges

Abstract “Flip‐flop” detachment mode represents an endmember type of lithosphere‐scale faulting observed at almost amagmatic sections of ultraslow‐spreading mid‐ocean ridges. Recent numerical experiments using an imposed steady temperature structure show that an axial temperature maximum is essentia...
