Does magma produce new material when it rises from an ocean ridge?
Yes, when magma rises from an ocean ridge, it can produce new material through a process called seafloor spreading. As the magma reaches the surface, it cools and solidifies, forming new oceanic crust. This process contributes to the continuous expansion of the seafloor and the formation of new crustal material.
Do most of the volcanoes of the mid-ocean ridge rise above the oceans surface?
False, Iceland is the only place in the world that a mid-ocean ridge, or a volcano from a mid-ocean ridge become subaerial.
When the force of gravity moves a plate downward and away from a ridge?
It is a process called ridge push.
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.
What motion of the sea floor is responsible for the formation of the mid ridge Atlantic ridge's rift valley?
A Diverging Motion. Away from each other, a kind of spliting or movement apart from one another.
Why are oceans far away form a ridge?
cuz rocks come up from the ridge and create land by the ridge
What do we call the central ridge that divides the oceans floor into two parts?
It is the mid-ocean ridge.

What is the range of mountains that run beneath all the worlds oceans?
The Mid-Oceanic Ridge.
What is the mountain range that winds through earth's oceans called?
Mid-Ocean Ridge.
What motion of the sea floor is responsible for the formation of the Mid Atlantic Ridge's rift valley?
Perpendicular (away from) the ridge, that why the Atlantic ocean is widening.
Do most of the volcanoes of the mid-ocean ridge rise above the oceans surface?
False, Iceland is the only place in the world that a mid-ocean ridge, or a volcano from a mid-ocean ridge become subaerial.
Are there mountains in waters?
if by that you mean there are mountains under the oceans then yes. Yeah Mid-Ocean Ridge
