Abstract

- Rigorous kinematic model for both amagmatic and magma-poor seafloor spreading.
- Explains a wide range of apparently contradictory observations along the Southwest Indian Ridge.
- Explains the lateral transition from mantle unroofing to rough, volcanic seafloor.
- Explains features of oceanic core complexes and hence of slow spreading ridges.
- Provides first 3D tectonic model of ultraslow spreading.
