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.
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.
Why is the core and delta considered the focal points of the fingerprint pattern?
The core and delta points in a fingerprint pattern are considered focal points because they are unique landmarks that help define the overall pattern type. The core is where the ridges diverge, while the delta is where three or more ridges converge or diverge. These points are used to determine the classification of fingerprints and are essential markers for analysis by forensic experts.
