How transform fault shear influences where detachment faults form near mid-ocean ridges

Oceanic detachment faults represent an end-member form of seafloor creation, associated with relatively weak magmatism at slow-spreading mid-ocean ridges. We use 3-D numerical models to investigate the underlying mechanisms for why detachment faults predominantly form on the transform side (inside c...
