The Ninetyeast Ridge (NER), a north–south striking, 5,000 km long, 77 to 43Ma chain of
basaltic submarine volcanoes in the eastern Indian Ocean formed as a hotspot track created …

Abstract The Ninetyeast Ridge is an∼ 5500 km long, north–south-oriented, submarine
volcanic ridge in the eastern Indian Ocean that formed from magmatism associated with the …

Basalts dredged from ridge axes within 70 km of the Indian Ocean triple junction in the
western Indian Ocean have many geochemical and petrologic characteristics in common …

Basalt glasses from the Central Indian Ridge are distinct isotopically from mid‐ocean ridge
basalts (MORB) of the Indian Ocean triple junction and western few hundred kilometers of …

Mid‐ocean ridge basalts (MORB) in the Indian Ocean have Sr‐Nd‐Pb isotopic
characteristics that distinguish them from seafloor basalts in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans …

Although most ocean island basalts (OIB) are enriched in incompatible elements relative to
mid-ocean ridge basalts, OIB depleted in these elements also occur on some islands. The …

Basalts from the Southwest Indian Ridge reflect a gradual, irregular isotopic transition in the
MORB (mid‐ocean ridge basalt) source mantle between typical Indian Ocean‐type …

Published plate tectonic models for the Australian‐Antarctic plate pair imply geologically
improbable scenarios at either or both ends of the Cretaceous rift and spreading system …

Age-progressive volcanic chains are generally considered as surface expressions of deep-
rooted mantle plumes, whereas non-age progressive volcanic groups or solitary volcanic …

To ascertain factors controlling melt production along a typical distal,'hotspot-interacting'mid-
ocean ridge, we investigated the extent and distribution of both plume-related and plume …
