What else can I help you with?
What is formed at the mid-Atlantic ridge?
A long continuous chain of mountains under water. New oceanic crust is formed at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
Are the plates at both sides of Mid-Atlantic Ridge continental or oceanic?
Plates on either side of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge are oceanic plates.
What is a chain of mountains under the water called?
Mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge
Is oceanic crust near the mid-ocean ridge older thean oceanic crust farther away from the ridge?
Its oceanic crust
Where are the youngest rock on the ocean floor found?
Near the mid-Atlantic ridge.
Where is oceanic and continental plates?
at the mid-ocean ridge
Why does the Earth's size remains the same despite of what is happening at the mid-oceanic ridge?
An equal amount of oceanic crust is being subducted at the convergent plate boundaries as is being created at the mid-oceanic ridge.
Is the oceanic crust near a mid-ocean ridge thicker or thinner than the oceanic crust away from the mid-ocean ridge?
The Oceanic Crust close to the Mid Ocean Ridge is thinner than that Oceanic Crust far away from the ridge. This is due to tensional forces, as a result of crustal expansion and rock fracturing during the formation of the ridge.the oceanic crust is thinner
Is ocean crust formed at a mid ocean ridge?
Yes, the process that creates oceanic crust on a mid-ocean ridge is called "seafloor spreading". seafloor spreading creates a new oceanic crust that forms on the mid-ocean ridge.
Is new oceanic crust formed at mid-ocean ridges?
Yes, the process that creates oceanic crust on a mid-ocean ridge is called "seafloor spreading". seafloor spreading creates a new oceanic crust that forms on the mid-ocean ridge.
What is a long and undersea mountain chain called?
A long undersea mountain chain is called a mid-ocean ridge. These ridges are formed by tectonic plates spreading apart, allowing magma to rise and create new oceanic crust. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is one well-known example of a mid-ocean ridge.
Oceanic crust near the mid ocean ridge is younger than oceanic crust farther away from the ridge?
hit the books!!
