What is the abbreviation for the long chains of mountains that rise up from the oceans floor?
no
Are deep sea trenches vast underwater mountain chains?
No, deep sea trenches are not underwater mountain chains. Deep sea trenches are long, narrow depressions in the ocean floor formed by tectonic plate activity, while underwater mountain chains, known as mid-ocean ridges, are long mountain ranges on the ocean floor where tectonic plates are spreading apart.
What is the continuous mountain range in the earth oceans basic called?
The continuous mountain range in the Earth's oceans is called the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This underwater mountain range runs down the center of the Atlantic Ocean and is a divergent boundary where tectonic plates are moving apart, creating new oceanic crust.
What is the process by which the oceans floor sinks into the mantle is called?
Subduction.
What is a submerged mountain called?
A submerged mountain is called a seamount. These underwater mountains do not reach the surface of the ocean and are typically formed by volcanic activity. They can be found throughout the world's oceans and play a significant role in marine ecosystems.
What is the chain of mountains that extends into all of the oceans called?
sea floor spreading
What ocean floor feature consists of chains of individual volcanoes?
The ocean floor feature that consist of chains of individual volcanoes is called mid ocean ridges. This ridge can rise from 1 to 3 kilometers above the ocean basin.
What is the chain of mountains that extends into all of earths oceans is called?
The ocean ridge.
Can you name an underwater mountain chain?
The Ocean Ridge (also known as Mid-ocean ridge), which runs more than 40,000 miles on the sea floor of five oceans is the longest mountain chain in the world.
An underwater mountain chain that formed by sea-floor spreading is called a?
Underwater mountain chains that form where two tectonic plates are pulling apart are called mid ocean ridges. The largest is the Mid Atlantic Ridge.
What grows on the deep oceans floor?
.
A chain of underwater mountains?
Sea floor spreading causes several chains of underwater mountains. They are sometimes called seamounts. They are also called mid ocean ridges.
