The movement of the ocean floor on either side of a midocean ridge is best known as?
it is known as sea floor spreading. this is when the oceanic plates diverge or move apart which causes the magma from the mantle to rise forming new sea floor.
Where is active seafloor spreading occurring today?
At any divergent plate margin: The Mid-Atlantic Ridge The boundary between the African Plate and Arabian Plate (the Red Sea) Great Rift Valley West Antarctic Rift East Pacific Rise Pacific-Antarctic Ridge Galapagos Rise Gakkel Ridge
When was New Indian Ridge Museum created?
New Indian Ridge Museum was created in 2000.

What type of plate is the Mid Atlantic Ridge where new crust is being made?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a divergent boundary where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. It is primarily associated with constructive plate margins where new crust is being created through seafloor spreading.
In which Australian State is Lightning Ridge in?
Lightning Ridge is located in New South Wales, Australia.
What is a Ridger?
It's a mythical creature made up made up by Glen Ridge High School in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. It is a two-headed zebra with no butt. Because of its lack of butt (and therefore butthole) it is eternally constipated, and subsequently is always pissed. This rage makes it a fierce and formidable creature. It is the mascot of Glen Ridge High. I have it on good authority that the principal of Glen Ridge High School has personally said all of this.
Where is the Glen Ridge Historical Society in Glen Ridge New Jersey located?
The address of the Glen Ridge Historical Society is: Po Box 164, Glen Ridge, NJ 07028
What is the mid-ocean ridge?
The mid-ocean ridge is the Earth's longest continuous mountain range, approximately 55-65 thousand kilometers long and bilaterally divided by a valley called a rift. The mid-ocean ridge is a volcanic feature caused by the spreading apart of oceanic plates as part of plate tectonics. The sea floor at the ridges are uplifted by rising magma. The rising magma is part of a process of heat transfer from the interior of the Earth to the surface known as a convection current. As the rising magma cools, it forms new crust which becomes part of the ridge. Therefore, the ridge is composed of basalt and gabbro, and is among the most recent of geologic age crustal rock. :)
What is a Lightning Ridge gemstone?
The town of Lightning Ridge in northwestern New South Wales is known for its opals.
What is created at the Juan de fueca ridge?
The Juan de Fuca Ridge is a mid-ocean ridge where new oceanic crust is created as tectonic plates pull apart. This process is driven by magma rising from the Earth's mantle, solidifying at the ridge crest, and forming new crust as it spreads outward.
Where is Bay Ridge located in the United States of America?
Bay Ridge is in New York City, Brooklyn and is a neighborhood in the southwest corner of the New York City borough. Bay Ridge is patrolled by the NYPD's 68th Precinct.
