Numerical modelling of Non-Transform Discontinuity geometry: Implication for ridge structure, volcano-tectonic fabric development and hydrothermal activity at segment ends.

Ocean ridge discontinuities partition and offset spreading centres at a range of scales. Large scale discontinuities (10's-100's km) are synonymous with first-order transform faults, which have well defined linear fault zone valleys. In contrast, Non-Transform Discontinuities (NTDs) are di...
