a chain of mountains.
What else can I help you with?
Is the mid ocean ridges a steep sided valley at the center of a mid ocean ridge?
yes, the mid ocean ridges are a steep sided valley at the center of a mid ocean ridge
What is at the center of a mid-ocean ridge?
A trough.
What is a mountainous chain of young basaltic rock at the active spreading center of an ocean?
an oceanic ridge
What forms at the center of the mid ocean ridge?
New oceanic crust.
What type of boundary occurs mostly at the mid ocean ridge?
spreading centers
What type of boundary occurs mostly at the mid-ocean ridge?
spreading centers
What is the difference between a mid oceanic ridge and a subduction zone?
A subduction zone occurs at convergent plate margins where an oceanic plate is going underneath a continental plate or a less dense oceanic plate. A mid-ocean ridge is a divergent plate boundary on the ocean floor with a mountain range and a rift running through the center of it. Sea floor spreading also occurs at mid ocean ridges.
What runs through the center of the Mid-Ocean Ridge?
Volcanoes and you might find magma. (hot molten rock)
Do most of the volcanoes of the mid-ocean ridge rise above the oceans surface?
No, most of the volcanoes along the mid-ocean ridge do not rise above the ocean's surface. These submarine volcanoes are typically under the water and form part of the continuous volcanic activity that occurs along the ocean ridges. Only a few volcanoes along the mid-ocean ridge, such as Iceland, rise above the ocean's surface.
What is a spreading?
It is a center at the bottom of the ocean that occurs at mid-ocean ridges
What countries are part of the mid ocean ridge spreading center?
Countries that are part of the mid-ocean ridge spreading centers include Iceland, located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and parts of Antarctica, where the East Pacific Rise intersects the Southern Ocean. These areas are often remote and not associated with specific countries.
Is there a valley in the center of the mid-ocean ridge?
Yes, there is a valley in the center of the mid-ocean ridge called the rift valley. It is formed due to tectonic plates diverging and magma rising to create new oceanic crust. The rift valley is a significant feature of the mid-ocean ridge system.
