This research is designed to test several hypotheses concerning the dynamic processes responsible for creating the spatial and temporal variations in ridge geometry on the slow-intermediate spreading rate ridge system in the south atlantic from 31-36s. the basic thrust of the experiments is to explore the nature of mantle convection in the vicinity of a spreading center and its role in modifying surface geometry and morphology of the ridge-transform system.
