THE Mid-Oceanic Ridge, a broad fractured arch more than 40,000 miles long, is the largest tectonic feature on the surface of the Earth. Associated with the centre of the ridge over much of its length is an axial fracture or rift which is the locus of shallow earthquakes.

Segmentation of mid-ocean ridges
Nature, 1985Studies of mid-ocean ridges in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans show that the volcanism that forms the oceanic crust along the spreading-plate boundaries is concentrated at regular intervals related to spreading rate. This observation and a new calculation for a Rayleigh–Taylor type of gravitational instability of a partially molten mantle region ...

ABSTRACT Exploration of the Mid-Ocean Ridge in recent years has resulted in a better understanding of its complex geologic processes. This new insight was obtained through the use of a comprehensive mapping approach involving three major mapping systems: multi-narrow beam sonar, ANGUS photography, and manned ...

Iceland and mid-oceanic ridges
Marine Geophysical Researches, 1971Magnetic anomalies over Iceland, measured by Serson et al. (1968), are similar in shape and amplitude to those found over mid-oceanic ridges in general and over Reykjanes Ridge in particular. However, the geology of Iceland does not favour the simple model of sea floor spreading as formulated by Vine and Matthews.

Tectonophysics, 1974
Abstract Various simple models for the emplacement of new material at the mid-oceanic ridge are discussed. Ridges with median valleys and ones without such valleys are considered. The emplacement of both extrusive and intrusive material is taken into account.
