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.
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
MidOcean Partners was created in 2003.
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
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.
New crust is being formed.
friction - convection currents in the mantle drag the plates away from the hot rising zone below the ridgegravity - gravity pulls down on the cold dense plate being subducted under the continent, dragging the plate away from the ridge

cuz rocks come up from the ridge and create land by the ridge
The Valley and Ridge province typically has folded and faulted sedimentary rocks, such as limestone and shale, creating a series of parallel ridges and valleys. These formations are the result of geological processes like mountain-building and erosion over millions of years.
