This book was released on 1996 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Segmentation plays a vital role in the inter-relationship between all tectonic, magmatic, hydrothermal and biological processes at mid-ocean ridges. The recent research presented in this book, much of it carried out under the aegis of the British mid-ocean ridge 'BRIDGE' programme, examines this inter-relationship with the aim of furthering our understanding of the causes and consequences of ridge axial segmentation.
