What is the role of the mid oceanic ridge in the movement of lithosperic plate?
It doesn't have a role. It is a natural phenomena
What does the rift valley along a mid ocean ridge mark?
It represents the line of divergence (divergent plate margin) between oceanic plates, where two oceanic plates are moving apart and new oceanic crust is formed.
What type of boundary occurs most at mid ocean ridge?
The mid-ocean ridge is formed along a divergent or constructive plate boundary between two plates of oceanic crust. A classic example is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where the Eurasian and African Plates are moving away from the North and South American Plates.
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 is the role of the mid-ocean ridge in the movement of lithospheric plate?
Fill the gap between separating plates.
Are the plates at both sides of Mid-Atlantic Ridge continental or oceanic?
Plates on either side of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge are oceanic plates.
Where is oceanic and continental plates?
at the mid-ocean ridge
What type of plate is with a mid ocean ridge?
Diverging oceanic plates.
Where do two oceanic plates pull apart?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
What geologic feature results when divergence occures between two oceanic plates?
a mid oceanic ridge
Places where new seafloor is being created?
New oceanic crust is being created at the mid-ocean ridges.
What is the role of the mid-ocean ridge in the movement of lithosphere plates?
To fill the gap of separating plates.
What is the role of mid ocean ridge in the movement of the lithosphere plates?
To fill the gap of separating plates.
What is the role of the mid ocean ridge in the movement of lithosphere plates?
To fill the gap of separating plates.
What is the role the mid-ocean ridge in the movement of lithosphere plates?
To fill the gap of separating plates.
What is the role of the mid ocean ridge in the movement lithosphere plates?
To fill the gap of separating plates.
What kind of boundary is located at the mid ocean ridge?
The mid-ocean ridge is formed along a divergent or constructive plate boundary between two plates of oceanic crust.
