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
Can plate movement occur when a plate is pushed away from an ocean trench during a process called ridge push?
Yes, plate movement can occur through a process called ridge push. As new oceanic crust forms at mid-ocean ridges, it pushes the neighboring tectonic plate away from the ridge due to the force of gravity, causing the plate to move away from the ridge. This movement is one of the driving forces behind the motion of tectonic plates.
What is the movement of ocean floor on either side of a mid ocean ridge best known as?
The movement of ocean floor on either side of a mid-ocean ridge is known as seafloor spreading. As new oceanic crust is formed at the ridge, it pushes the existing crust away from the ridge in opposite directions, creating a continuous process of plate tectonics.
What ocean is least deep?
The pacific as a long ridge runs down the middle due to plate movement
What is the role of the mid-ocean ridge in the movement of lithospheric plate?
Fill the gap between separating plates.
What crustal feature is a result of divergent plate movement?
A mid-ocean ridge is a crustal feature formed by divergent plate movement. This occurs when tectonic plates move apart, allowing magma to rise to the surface, creating new oceanic crust.
What plate corresponds to the mid ocean ridge?
Oceanic Plate.
What is a ridge push?
Ridge push is a geological concept where the force of gravity causes oceanic lithosphere to move downhill from a mid-ocean ridge, pushing tectonic plates away from the ridge. This process contributes to plate motion along with other forces like slab pull and mantle convection.
Who is a slab pull different from ridge push?
Slab pull is the force that occurs when a subducting tectonic plate sinks into the mantle, pulling the rest of the plate behind it. Ridge push, on the other hand, is the force that occurs when the elevated edges of a mid-ocean ridge push the plate away from the ridge. Both forces play a role in plate tectonics, with slab pull mainly driving plate motion at subduction zones and ridge push contributing to the movement of plates away from mid-ocean ridges.
Does Miyakejima rest on a hot spot a plate boundary or a mid ocean ridge?
o mid ocean ridge
What is the fastest spreading divergent plate boundary?
The mid-ocean ridge system is the longest continuous divergent plate boundary on Earth.
What is ocean ridges formed by?
An ocean ridge is and underwater mountain range which is formed in the same way as an above water mountain range, by plate tectonics.
