The mid-ocean ridge is formed along a divergent or constructive plate boundary between two plates of oceanic crust. A classic example is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where the Eurasian and African Plates are moving away from the North and South American Plates.

Area where volcanic activity is taking place but not at a plate boundary?
Most movement occurs along narrow zones between plates where the ... Plate boundary zones -- broad belts in which boundaries are not well ... Africa, is but one segment of the global mid-ocean ridge system that encircles the Earth. ... Some of these rifting events were accompanied by volcanic activity.
Is a mid-ocean ridge an underwater volcano?
No, but some mid-ocean ridges once were rift valleys.
What type of plate boundary is between the North American and the Pacific plates?
It is a transform boundary.
Do most of the volcanoes of the mid-ocean ridge rise above the oceans surface?
False, Iceland is the only place in the world that a mid-ocean ridge, or a volcano from a mid-ocean ridge become subaerial.
Where hurricane most occurs?
the ocean
Which landform would most likely be found at a convergent subduction boundary?
convergent boundary -rift valley divergent boundary -mid-ocean ridge
What are the examples of divergent boundary?
Examples of a divergent boundary would be a mid-ocean ridge. Two plates are pulling apart from each other. If you have heard before, the magma from the asthenosphere find a way to get out through the crack of the diverging plates and makes new land. Another type of devergent boundary would be a fissure. It is a long linear crack made by the plates moving apart. I think maybe another one would probably be a volcano, but I am not sure.

Where can divergent divergent boundary be found?
Most divergent boundaries can be found on the ocean floor. divergent boundaries create Rift Valleys An example of this is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge discovered by Harry Hess.
What type of plate boundary is most likely found in the Atlantic Ocean?
Divergent Boundary
Most prominent feature on ocean floor?
Oceanic ridge
Where hurricane most occurs?
the ocean
What is the narrow zone on the mid-ocean ridge crest where most geologic activity occurs?
The neovolcanic zone of the mid-ocean mountain ridges. The zone around Iceland is very active and some volcanoes have large glaciers formed above them.
What is the largest fault line in the world?
The tallest fault block mountain in the world is Mt. Whitney in the Sierra Nevada. It is 14,505 feet tall, or 4,421 meters.
