What major plates correspond with the mid-Atlantic Ridge?
The North American and Eurasian Plates in the North Atlantic and the South American and African Plates in the South Atlantic border the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
What is occurring along the mid- atlantic ridge?
Plate divigent
Does subduction occur at the mid ocean ridge?
No, the Mid Atlantic Ridge is where the two plates are diverging, which creates more oceanic floor.
WhAT Mid-Atlantic is a plate boundary?
the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a divergent plate boundary, meaning the two plates are moving away from each other.
The mid atlantic ridge is an example of what?
A constructive/divergent plate boundary
What type of fault line is the mid-Atlantic ridge?
no the mid- Atlantic ridge is a transform boundary
What type of plate is the Mid Atlantic Ridge where new crust is being made?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge represents a divergent plate boundary.
What plate boundary created the mid Atlantic ridge?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a divergent plate boundary, also known as a spreading center.
What major plates correspond with the mid-Atlantic Ridge?
The North American and Eurasian Plates in the North Atlantic and the South American and African Plates in the South Atlantic border the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
What is the plate boundary of the mid-Atlantic ridge?
A divergent plate boundary.
What is the Mid - Atlantic ridge?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a mid-ocean ridge, a divergent tectonic plate or constructive plate boundary located along the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, and part of the longest mountain range in the world.

Where are the plate boundries?
The Pacific Ring of Fire and the Mid Atlantic Ridge.

A constructive/divergent plate boundary
What type of plate boundary is associated with the mid Atlantic ridge?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) is a mid-ocean ridge, a divergent tectonic plate boundary located along the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, and part of thelongest mountain range in the world. It separates the Eurasian Plate and North American Plate in the North Atlantic, and the African Plate from the South American Plate in the South Atlantic. The Ridge extends from a junction with the Gakkel Ridge (Mid-Arctic Ridge) northeast of Greenland southward to theBouvet Triple Junction in the South Atlantic. Although the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is mostly an underwater feature, portions of it have enough elevation to extend above sea level. The section of the ridge which includes the island of Iceland is also known as the Reykjanes Ridge. The average spreading rate for the ridge is about 2.5 cm per year.[1]en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_Ridge
