Magmatic channelization by reactive and shear-driven instabilities at mid-ocean ridges: a combined analysis

It is generally accepted that melt extraction from the mantle at mid-ocean ridges (MORs) is concentrated in narrow regions of elevated melt fraction called channels. Two feedback mechanisms have been proposed to explain why these channels grow by linear instability: shear flow of the partially molte...
