On origin of near-axis volcanism and faulting at fast spreading mid-ocean ridges
At fast and superfast spreading mid-ocean ridges, such as the East Pacific Rise, a plate boundary is defined by a narrow (tens to hundreds of meters wide) neovolcanic zone within which the bulk of the upper oceanic crust is created. However, detailed near-bottom observations indicate that the volcanic construction may occasionally persist several kilometers off of the ridge axis. It has been pr...
متن کاملWhy meter-wide dikes at oceanic spreading centers?
Numerical models show that maximum dike width at oceanic spreading centers should scale with axial lithospheric thickness if the pre-diking horizontal stress is close to the Andersonian normal faulting stress and the stress is fully released in one dike intrusion. Dikes at slow-spreading ridges could be over 5 m wide and maximum dike width should decrease with increasing plate spreading rate. H...

متن کاملInformation spreading and development of cultural centers
The historical interplay between societies is governed by many factors, including in particular the spreading of languages, religion, and other symbolic traits. Cultural development, in turn, is coupled to the emergence and maintenance of information spreading. Strong centralized cultures exist due to attention from their members, whose faithfulness in turn relies on the supply of information. ...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of spreading drops
• Numerial simulation of spreading drops on a wettable surface. • We discuss the effect of the main parameters (density, viscosity, surface tension, drop radius and wettability). • Power law evolutions observed in experiments (t/2, t/10) are recovered and discussed. • The combined effect of viscosity and wettability has a significant effect on the spreading.
