Magmatic focusing to mid-ocean ridges: the role of grain size variability and non-Newtonian viscosity
Melting beneath mid-ocean ridges occurs over a region that is much broader than the zone of magmatic emplacement to form the oceanic crust. Magma is focused into this zone by lateral transport. This focusing has typically been explained by dynamic pressure gradients associated with corner flow, or b...
