i think its uprising magma wen it rise up, it makes the divergence marginthat would cause mid oceanic ridge
What else can I help you with?
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
Earth does not get bigger as new oceanic crust forms?
Just as new oceanic crust forms at mid-ocean ridges, old oceanic crust is destroyed at subduction zones.
What are places where oceanic crust sinks back to the mantle?
No. Mid oceanic ridges are the places where new oceanic crust are forming.
Which forms at mid-ocean ridges?
New oceanic crust is created along mid ocean ridges. These are areas of the earth where there is divergence or splitting of the ocean floor and basaltic magma oozes out from within the mantle to occupy the gaps and form new crusts.
What is the color and the type of rock that forms oceanic crust at mid ocean ridges?
The color of rock that forms oceanic crust at mid-ocean ridges is usually dark gray to black. The type of rock is basalt, which is rich in iron and magnesium and forms from solidified lava.
What is the color and type of rock that forms oceanic crust at mid-ocean ridges?
The color of the rock that forms oceanic crust at mid-ocean ridges is dark gray to black. The rock is primarily basalt, which is a type of igneous rock formed from the solidification of molten lava.
What is mid - oceanic ridges?
mountainous topography
Is new oceanic crust formed at mid-ocean ridges?
Yes, the process that creates oceanic crust on a mid-ocean ridge is called "seafloor spreading". seafloor spreading creates a new oceanic crust that forms on the mid-ocean ridge.
Why doesn't our planet get larger from sea floor spreading?
As new oceanic crust forms at mid-ocean ridges, old oceanic crust is destroyed at subduction zones.
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 is the place where seafloor spreading occur?
Mid-oceanic ridges
