Hydrothermal fields in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge: Setting and
prospects for further discoveries
A. O. Mazarovich and S. Yu. Sokolov
Abstract
Analyzed is the setting of active and inactive hydrothermal fields and sulfide
occurrences on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between 65oN and 65oS.
Multifaceted interpretation of data has enabled a prediction of how sulfide
mineralization is distributed in the Atlantic Ocean.
