Where do midocean ridges intersect the landmasses?
Midocean ridges are areas where continents broke apart. Midocean ridges are closest to the landmasses in younger oceans. One example where a midocean ridge intersected a landmass is the Arabian sea, which was formed by the pulling apart of the Arabian Peninsula and Africa.
Where are the midocean ridges offset the most by faults?
At transform faults or transform zones.
Is the Mid-Oceanic Ridge in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean?
One of the midocean ridges is, but others are in other oceans, seas, and bays.
Where are watchtowers placed?
The perimeter , defensive corners , mountain ridges , the sides of a defile , points of highest elevation ,
Do Ocean sediments become younger or older away from midocean ridges?
Older, as it moves away from the mid-ocean ridge the sediment gets thicker and older
What are the 3 type of earthquakes?
(1)midocean spreading ridges, (2) subduction zones, and (3) transform faults.Normal fault, Reverse fault, and strike-slip fault
What are the differences between ocean ridge and seamount?
The midocean ridges are the spreading centers where the plates are moving apart. The seamounts are extinct volcanos produced as the plate passed over a mantle hotspot.
Why are the lines representing the midocean ridges jagged rather than smooth?
The lines representing midocean ridges are jagged due to the tectonic activity associated with seafloor spreading. As tectonic plates diverge, magma rises to create new oceanic crust, resulting in irregular formations. Additionally, the process of plate movement can lead to fractures, faults, and other geological features that contribute to the jagged appearance. This dynamic environment contrasts with smoother features typically seen in more stable geological areas.
Are plateaus and plains the same?
No. Plains and plateau's are not the same. A plain is a flat piece of land whereas a Plateau is a uneven and has small mountainous structures similar to hillocks and ridges. The land too is rocky in a plateau whereas in case of plains it is soft or muddy
Where is heat flow the highest on the surface of the earth?
Mid Ocean Ridges
How is a plateau and plain made?
a plateau is made from a volcanic activity and a plain is made from Oceanic crust, which forms the bedrock of abyssal plains, is continuously being created at mid-ocean ridges (a type of divergent boundary) by a process known as decompression melting
What is located in midocean ridges?
At mid-ocean ridges, tectonic plates are moving apart, creating new oceanic crust through volcanic activity. This results in the formation of underwater mountain chains and hydrothermal vents, which support unique ecosystems due to the high temperatures and mineral-rich waters.
