摘要: Abstract. We have estimated the power of ventilated hydrothermal heat transport, and its spatial distribution, using a set recently developed plate models which highlight effects axial circulation thermal insulation by oceanic crust. Testing lithospheric cooling with these two effects, we estimate that global advective transport is about 6.6 TW, significantly lower than most previous estimates, fraction extracted vigorous on ridge axes (
