  • Title: Comment on "Glacial cycles drive variations in the production of oceanic crust".
    Author: Goff JA.
    Journal: Science; 2015 Sep 04; 349(6252):1065. PubMed ID: 26339022.
    Abstract:
    Crowley et al. (Reports, 13 March 2015, p. 1237) propose that abyssal hill topography can be generated by variations in volcanism at mid-ocean ridges modulated by Milankovitch cycle-driven changes in sea level. Published values for abyssal hill characteristic widths versus spreading rate do not generally support this hypothesis. I argue that abyssal hills are primarily fault-generated rather than volcanically generated features.
