The East Pacific Rise (EPR) at 11°20′N erupts an unusually high proportion of enriched mid-ocean ridge basalts (E-MORB) and thus is ideal for studying the origin of the enriched heterogeneities in the EPR mantle far from mantle plumes. These basalts... Read More about Origin of enriched-type mid-ocean ridge basalt at ridges far from mantle plumes: The East Pacific Rise at 11°20′N.
