Shallow axial magma chamber at the slow-spreading Erta Ale Ridge

Shallow axial magma chamber at the slow-spreading Erta Ale Ridge Thermal models predict that spreading velocity at mid-ocean rifts should influence the geometry of the underlying magma chamber. InSAR data from the slow-spreading Ethiopian Rift identify a shallow, elongated magma chamber—a feature usually associated with fast-spreading rifts—beneath the Erta Ale segment, implying that spreading velocity may not be so important after all. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Nature Geoscience Springer Journals

Abstract

Thermal models predict that spreading velocity at mid-ocean rifts should influence the geometry of the underlying magma chamber. InSAR data from the slow-spreading Ethiopian Rift identify a shallow, elongated magma chamber—a feature usually associated with fast-spreading rifts—beneath the Erta Ale segment, implying that spreading velocity may not be so important after all.
