What is mid - oceanic ridges?
mountainous topography
Why does oceanic lithosphere sink at subduction zones but not at mid ocean ridges?
oceanic lithosphere sinks at subduction zones but not at mid ocean ridges because at subduction zones the oceanic lithosphere is subducted, or sinks, under another plate. Oceanic Lithosphere sinks at subduction zones which are usually at convergent boundaries, but at mid-ocean ridges the plates are actually separating not coming together
Is new oceanic lithosphere is unable to form at mid-ocean ridges?
no
Is Magma appears to be rising underneath the mid-oceanic ridges?
true
What are places where oceanic crust sinks back to the mantle?
No. Mid oceanic ridges are the places where new oceanic crust are forming.
Most divergent plate boundaries are situated along the crests of?
oceanic ridges
What is mid - oceanic ridges?
mountainous topography
Where are the youngest portion of Earth's crust found?
The youngest parts of the Earth's crust are found in the oceanic crust. This crust is continuously being created at the mid-oceanic ridges.
Do mid ocean ridges destroy or create something?
Yes. Mid Ocean Ridges create new oceanic crust.
Where are oceanic crust and lithosphere formed?
At the mid-ocean ridges.
What plates corresponde to mid ocean ridges?
Oceanic Plate.
Where is the place where seafloor spreading occur?
Mid-oceanic ridges
Where is oceanic crust created?
New oceanic crust is created at the mid-oceanic ridges, a divergent plate boundary.
Why does oceanic lithosphere sink at subduction but not at mid ocean ridges?

What type of lavas are erupted at mid-oceanic ridges?
The lavas erupted from mid-oceanic ridges are called basalts. This lava contains quarts, feldspathoid, and plagioclase. Basalts has gray to black color.
Where do mid ocean ridges?
Mid-Ocean Ridges forms where a continental plate slides under an oceanic plate. I hope this is what your looking for ! ! !:D
