Lower oceanic crust formed by in situ melt crystallisation revealed by seismic layering

Oceanic crust forms at mid-ocean spreading centres through a combination of magmatic and tectonic processes, with the magmatic processes creating two distinct layers: the upper and the lower crust. While the upper crust is known to form from lava flows and basaltic dikes based on geophysical and dri...
