what does mid-ocean ridge mean
Midocean ridges are areas where continents broke apart. Midocean ridges are closest to the landmasses in younger oceans. One example where a midocean ridge intersected a landmass is the Arabian sea, which was formed by the pulling apart of the Arabian Peninsula and Africa.
At transform faults or transform zones.
One of the midocean ridges is, but others are in other oceans, seas, and bays.
Older, as it moves away from the mid-ocean ridge the sediment gets thicker and older
(1)midocean spreading ridges, (2) subduction zones, and (3) transform faults.Normal fault, Reverse fault, and strike-slip fault
MidOcean Partners was created in 2003.
The midocean ridges are the spreading centers where the plates are moving apart. The seamounts are extinct volcanos produced as the plate passed over a mantle hotspot.
The lines representing midocean ridges are jagged due to the tectonic activity associated with seafloor spreading. As tectonic plates diverge, magma rises to create new oceanic crust, resulting in irregular formations. Additionally, the process of plate movement can lead to fractures, faults, and other geological features that contribute to the jagged appearance. This dynamic environment contrasts with smoother features typically seen in more stable geological areas.
At mid-ocean ridges, tectonic plates are moving apart, creating new oceanic crust through volcanic activity. This results in the formation of underwater mountain chains and hydrothermal vents, which support unique ecosystems due to the high temperatures and mineral-rich waters.
you mean... like a carpet in Minecraft :D
to draw or bend into folds or alternate furrows and ridges
The ridges of the Everest are very dangerous. Ridges is the word used in the sentence.
