Geophysical constraints on the dynamics of spreading centres from rifting episodes on land

TJ Wright, F Sigmundsson, C Pagli, M Belachew… - Nature …, 2012 - nature.com
Most of the Earth's crust is created along 60,000 km of mid-ocean ridge system. Here,
tectonic plates spread apart and, in doing so, gradually build up stress. This stress is …

Links between long‐lived hot spots, mantle plumes, D ″, and plate tectonics

AM Jellinek, M Manga - Reviews of Geophysics, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
The existence, spatial distribution, and style of volcanism on terrestrial planets is an
expression of their internal dynamics and evolution. On Earth a physical link has been …

The nature of the lithosphere‐asthenosphere boundary

CA Rychert, N Harmon, S Constable… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Plate tectonic theory was developed 50 years ago and underpins most of our understanding
of Earth's evolution. The theory explains observations of magnetic lineations on the seafloor …

The genesis of oceanic crust: Magma injection, hydrothermal circulation, and crustal flow
