What is the difference between a rift valley and a mid ocean ridge and what kinds of boundaries do they form at?
a rift valleyis a dip in the ocean floor a mid ocean ridge is a mountain chain formed on the ocean floor . Rift valley - divergent boundary MidOcean Ridge Convergent Boundary
What is a trough- like zone along the peak of a mid-ocean ridge?
rift
What is the gap that forms when a mid ocean ridge widens called?
It is called a rift valley.
What geological feature can be found at the mid ocean ridge?
usually a rift or trench
What runs through the center of the Mid-Ocean Ridge?
Volcanoes and you might find magma. (hot molten rock)
What features is found along the divergent boundary?
Oceanic: Mid-ocean ridge Continental: Rift valley

How are rift valleys and abyssal plains alike?
Rift valleys are linear-shaped lowlands in between highlands or mountain ranges that were created by geologic rift or fault. Abyssal plains are underwater plains deep on the ocean floor between a mid-ocean ridge and the foot of a continental rise.

Widest part of the great rift valley?
mid-ocean-ridge

What can divergent boundaries form?
A rift zone on land, a mid ocean ridge under the ocean.
What would the land equivalent be of the Mid-Atlantic-Ridge?
A continental rift such as the East African Rift valley. Please see the related link.
Is there a valley in the center of the mid-ocean ridge?
Yes. It's called a rift.
What is a trough- like zone along the peak of a mid-ocean ridge?
rift
Where can you see a divergent boundary without going to a mid ocean bridge?
You would need to find a continental rift. The best example of an active continental rift is the East African Rift.
