What seafloor feature can be found along the rifts in the mid ocean ridges?
hydrothermal vents
Sea-floor spreading was a key discovery because it showed?
that mid-ocean ridges have rifts at the center.
Divergent plates move from each other This causes to form as well as mid-ocean ridges?
away, rifts
What are unique feature of crystalline evaporate rock?
it is schemulan rock. this means that it formed on ridges and rifts, making it more fragmental.
What is the axial rift?
A deep axial rift is a valley occurring at slow spreading mid-ocean ridges. The edges of such rifts are very rugged, and causing a good portion of the ocean floor to be covered in rough abyssal hills.
The formations that run down the centers of mid-ocean ridges?
rifts
What seafloor feature can be found along the rifts in the mid ocean ridges?
hydrothermal vents
What three features can be found at divergent boundaries?
Rifts Mid-oceanic ridges Volcanic islands
Sea-floor spreading was a key discovery because it showed?

Is the place where two tectonic plates move away from one another?
mid - ocean ridges, they're caused by divergent boundaries Rifts are also on land, such as the Great Rift Valley in Africa mid - ocean ridges, they're caused by divergent boundaries Rifts are also on land, such as the Great Rift Valley in Africa mid - ocean ridges, they're caused by divergent boundaries Rifts are also on land, such as the Great Rift Valley in Africa

What are rifts and what kinds of eruptions would you expect?
a rift is a crack cause by plates moving apart along ocean ridges. You could expect fissure eruptions.
What are the landforms at divergent ocean plate boundaries?
Occasionally, mid-ocean ridges are found at a divergent boundary. Another feature that is made is a rift valley. Also, earthquake activity at fracture zones alone mid-ocean ridges, and volcanic activity

What is the definition of ridged rollars?
Dollar coins with 'milling' or ridges around the rim.
