Thermal segmentation of mid‐ocean ridge‐transform faults

3‐D finite element simulations are used to calculate thermal structures and mantle flow fields underlying mid‐ocean ridge‐transform faults (RTFs) composed of two fault segments separated by an orthogonal step over. Using fault lengths and slip rates, we derive an empirical scaling relation for the c...
