Mid-ocean ridge basalt is a tholeiitic basalt and is low in incompatible elements. [17] [18] Hydrothermal vents fueled by magmatic and volcanic heat are a common feature at oceanic spreading centers. [19] [20] A feature of the elevated ridges is their relatively high heat flow values, of about 1–10 μcal/cm 2 s, [21] or roughly 0.04–0.4 W/m 2.
