A Magma Accretion Model for the Formation of Oceanic Lithosphere: Implications for Global Heat Loss
A magma accretion model of oceanic lithosphere is proposed and its implications for understanding its thermal field examined. The new model (designated Variable Basal Accretion—VBA) assumes existence of lateral variations in magma accretion rates and temperatures at the boundary zone between the lit...
