WebAbstract. An abrupt change in sediment thickness between the crests and flanks of the mid-ocean ridges can be interpreted as a major discontinuity in the rates either of spreading of the sea floor or of accumulation of sediment. The preferable interpretation of the data is that the process of spreading of the sea floor is intermittent and that ...

WebEarthquakes are the result of sudden movement along faults within the Earth. The movement releases stored-up ‘elastic strain’ energy in the form of seismic waves, which propagate through the Earth and cause the ground surface to shake. Such movement on the faults is generally a response to long-term deformation and the buildup of stress. Webshown in this paper that oceanic ridges can act as wave guides for long waves, and it is suggested that this effect could be an important contributing cause of the observa-tions … rolf christianson
