Product Description
The processes involved in accretion taking place at oceanic ridges are approached here via petrological and structural analysis of oceanic rocks in present-day oceanic ridges, combined with similar studies based on ophiolites, and includes present cases of slow and fast oceanic spreading and inferred analogues in ophiolites. A complementary model study of cyclic oceanic activity reconciles the extreme cases of slowly and rapidly spreading ridges. In essence, based as it is on the analysis of `real rocks', this book on mantle--crust interactions reinforces the well-known contrast between processes taking place at slow and fast oceanic ridges. Audience: Contains valuable information for scientists interested in the nature and generation of the ocean floor in present-day oceanic ridges and in their ophiolite counterparts. |
