Ridge migration, asthenospheric flow and the origin of magmatic segmentation in the global mid-ocean ridge system

Global observations of mid-ocean ridge (MOR) bathymetry demonstrate an asymmetry in axial depth across ridge offsets that is correlated with the direction of ridge migration. Motivated by these observations, we have developed two-dimensional numerical models of asthenospheric flow and melting beneat...
