Earth science: The ultraslow difference
Jason Phipps Morgan1
Abstract
The speed at which mid-ocean ridges grind out new ocean floor varies considerably. The slowest-spreading ridges are especially tough to study — but the latest data show that they are especially intriguing.
Earth exploration still has the power to astound. Mid-ocean ridges, also called spreading centres, produce new ocean crust at different rates and are classified accordingly.
