Lecture C - Ocean Crust and Ophiolites
... Essentially the oceanic crust can be divided into two major domains – The accreting plate boundary zone (mid-ocean ridge) at which new oceanic crust is created – The passive crust, which after creation at the ridge axis has moved away. Basalt was first dredged from the ocean floor at the turn of the ...
