Modes of faulting at mid-ocean ridges
... The space generated at the valley by the far-field pull of plate tectonics can be filled by magmatic dyke intrusion at lower stress than is needed for faults to slip and accommodate tension7. For this reason, many authors assume that faults form only during periods when no magma is available for dyk ...
