The Nature of the Mohorovicic Discontinuity ADS Classic is now deprecated. It will be completely
retired in October 2019. This page will automatically redirect to the new ADS interface at that …

The subducting oceanic lithosphere may carry a large amount of chemically bound water
into the deep Earth interior, returning water to the mantle, facilitating melting, and hence …

Internal structures in mature oceanic crust can elucidate understanding of the processes and
mechanism of crustal accretion. In this study, we present two multi-channel seismic (MCS) …

We analyze four expanded spread profiles acquired at distances of 0, 2.1, 3.1, and 10 km (0–
0.2 my) from the axis of the East Pacific Rise between 9° and 10° N. Velocity‐depth models …

Thermal models based on the geometry of axial segmentation, and mechanical models of
axial valley formation, suggest that the axial lithosphere of slow spreading ridges can be …

Mid-ocean ridge magmas are produced when Earth's mantle rises beneath the ridge axis
and melts owing to a decrease in pressure. This magma subsequently undergoes cooling …

Abundant exposure and well-preserved outcrops in the Oman ophiolite allow detailed
observation of the transition from mantle to crust in an oceanic environment. The mantle …

The tectonosedimentary development of the South Atlantic is compared with the Central
Atlantic margins, which are associated with major episodes of magmatism during the …

Constraints provided by the Bay of Islands ophiolite complex (BOIC), western
Newfoundland, suggest that its generation, as well as its obduction, is related to collision of …

We present new results on the crustal and upper mantle structure beneath the rift mountains
along two segments of the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge and across a nontransform offset (NTO). Our …
