Hydrothermal exploration near the Azores Triple Junction: tectonic control of venting at slow-spreading ridges?

Simultaneous acoustic imaging of the seafloor and detection of particle-rich plumes in the overlying water column have been used to identify and determine the tectonic setting of high-temperature ‘black smoker’ hydrothermal activity along 200 km of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between 36° and 38°N. Using...
