Plate-driven mantle dynamics and global patterns of mid-ocean ridge bathymetry
Global observations of mid-ocean ridge (MOR) bathymetry reveal a correlation between the difference in axial depth across ridge offsets and ridge migration. If upwelling and melt production rates are asymmetric across a ridge axis, three-dimensional (3-D) melt focusing and different crustal thicknes...
