Spreading Rate Variability

Spreading Rate Variability is a geological metric that quantifies the temporal and spatial fluctuations in the rate at which new oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges, distinguishing it from steady-state spreading models by accounting for heterogeneity in seafloor expansion across different tectonic settings and timescales.
