Summary

• "Faulting and Magmatism at Mid-Ocean Ridges surveys current understanding of the structure and constitution of mid-ocean-ridge spreading centers, the site of the largest and most active volcanic and extensional tectonic regimes on Earth. Experts in the field examine the fundamental processes that shape the topography of the spreading center and create the oceanic crust and lithosphere.
• This book can benefit the nonspecialist who wants to keep up with work on magmatism and tectonics, as well as researchers working on mid-ocean ridges."--BOOK JACKET.
