Ocean ridges are formed by what boundaries?
Divergent boundaries form ocean ridges.
Where is the newest ocean crust formed?
mid ocean ridges
What are mid ocean ridges formed from?
the wind ;)
What are ocean ridges formed by?
Divergent boundaries
Ocean crust is formed where in the ocean?
New ocean crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges where tectonic plates are diverging (spreading apart).
Where are oceanic crust and lithosphere formed?
At the mid-ocean ridges.
Does theory continental drift state that new ocean crust is formed at ocean ridges and destroyed at deep sea trenches?
No, the theory is that Seafloor spreading state that the new ocean crust is formed at ocean ridges and is destroyed at deep sea trenches.
What formed ocean crust?
Ocean crust is formed by intrusive magma at mid-ocean-ridges. The magma cools and solidifies into peridotite, basalt, or gabbro.
What is formed when divergence happens on the sea floor?
Mid ocean ridges
Mid ocean ridges are actually underwater mountain ranges?
It is true that mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges. These ridges are where the lithosphere is moving apart and new oceanic crust is being formed.
Are Mid-ocean ridges actually underwater mountain ranges?
It is true that mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges. These ridges are where the lithosphere is moving apart and new oceanic crust is being formed.
