Interaction of a mantle plume and a segmented mid-ocean ridge: Results from numerical modeling

Previous investigations have proposed that changes in lithospheric thickness across a transform fault, due to the juxtaposition of seafloor of different ages, can impede lateral dispersion of an on-ridge mantle plume. The application of this “transform damming” mechanism has been considered for seve...
