Asthenosphere plume-to-ridge flow has often been proposed to explain both the existence of geochemical anomalies at the mid-ocean ridge segments nearest an off-axis hotspot and the existence of apparent geochemical provinces within the global mid-ocean spreading system. We have constructed a thin-spherical-shell finite element model to explore the possible structure of global asthenosphere flow and to determine whether plume-fed asthenosphere flow is compatible with present-day geochemical and geophysical observations. The assumptions behind the physical flow model are described in the companion paper to this study. Despite its oversimplifications (especially the steady-state assumption), Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific mid-ocean ridge isotope geochemistry...
