|---|---|
| Definitionskos:definition | Elongated ridge up to 15–20 km wide and 500 m high relative to nearby abyssal plain with the shallowest points around neovolcanic zone. The presence of axial highs is due to the upwelling of hot mantle beneath fast spreading centres (Harff et al., 2016). Cf. "rift valley" in Harris et al., (2014; Cf. AXIAL VALLEY). |
