Is the mid-Atlantic ridge getting smaller or larger?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is in a constant process of growing at the boundary and shrinking as it moves away from the boundary. Therefore, on a year to year basis, it is both getting larger and smaller. In geologic time, however, it will start shrinking when the continents it is moving can no longer be moved toward each other due to collisions caused by plate tectonics
