This fabric can be detected by seismic imaging, as it produces an azimuthal anisotropy in the velocity of seismic waves that propagate in the shallow mantle. ...
By scaling our field observations to laboratory experiments, we estimate that total viscous strain during slow seafloor spreading is of order 0.5, as opposed to~1-2 for the fast-spreading case. ...
In contrast, the 2h model implies that the upper-mantle fabric is rotated 16F48 relative to fossil spreading, which suggests a three-dimensional subaxial flow field with a component in the ridge-parallel ...
