Melt generation at very slow-spreading oceanic ridges: constraints from geochemical and geophysical data
We show that there is a strong and consistent correlation between geochemical and geophysical estimates of the amount of melt generated in the mantle beneath oceanic ridges. This correlation holds across all spreading rates and on scales down to the size of individual ridge segments. There is an abr...
