What else can I help you with?
Why does the Earth's size remains the same despite of what is happening at the mid-oceanic ridge?
An equal amount of oceanic crust is being subducted at the convergent plate boundaries as is being created at the mid-oceanic ridge.
What layer of earth do convergent boundaries float on?
Well, technically, convergent boundaries can be wherever there are tectonic plates, and convergent boundaries are just where two plates push together forming a mountain range or a mid-ocean ridge. So it can be on any layer of earth. By the way I'm only in 6th grade
Is a composite volcano on a divergent boundary or convergent boundary?
They can be associated with both, but are most often found near convergent boundaries.
What is a ridge formed from glacial deposits are?
what is a ridge formed from deposits are
What are the 3 type of earthquakes?
(1)midocean spreading ridges, (2) subduction zones, and (3) transform faults.Normal fault, Reverse fault, and strike-slip fault
Where do midocean ridges intersect the landmasses?
Midocean ridges are areas where continents broke apart. Midocean ridges are closest to the landmasses in younger oceans. One example where a midocean ridge intersected a landmass is the Arabian sea, which was formed by the pulling apart of the Arabian Peninsula and Africa.
Is the Mid-Oceanic Ridge in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean?
One of the midocean ridges is, but others are in other oceans, seas, and bays.
What is the boundary of east pacific ridge?
Convergent plate boundary.
What type of plate boundary is the Mid-Indian Ocean Ridge?
Convergent
What plates surround the mid Atlantic ridge?
convergent, divergent, and transform
When was MidOcean Partners created?
MidOcean Partners was created in 2003.
Do Ocean sediments become younger or older away from midocean ridges?
Older, as it moves away from the mid-ocean ridge the sediment gets thicker and older
Which two tectonic plates are separated by the midocean ridge?
The mid ocean ridge separates many plates, not just two. In the Atlantic Ocean it separates the Eurasian and African plates from the North American Plate and the African Plate from the South American Plate. In the Indian Ocean it separates the African Plate from the Antarctic, Australian, Indian Plates and the Australian Plate from the Antarctic Plate. In the Red Sea it separates the African Plate from the Arabian Plate. In the Pacific Ocean it separates the Pacific Plate from the Antarctic, Nazca, Cocos, and Juan de Fuca Plates and the Nazca Plate from the Cocos and Antarctic Plates.
What is the difference between a rift valley and a mid ocean ridge and what kinds of boundaries do they form at?
A rift valley is a large depression where tectonic plates are moving apart, creating a gap in the Earth's crust. This forms at divergent boundaries, where plates move away from each other. A mid-ocean ridge is an underwater mountain range formed by the divergence of tectonic plates. They also form at divergent boundaries, specifically at oceanic spreading centers.
What are the differences between ocean ridge and seamount?
The midocean ridges are the spreading centers where the plates are moving apart. The seamounts are extinct volcanos produced as the plate passed over a mantle hotspot.
Which is the only plate that has all margins as convergent boundaries?
The Pacific Plate is completely surrounded by a convergent boundary (Ring of Fire).
What is a force that is causing the plates to move at a midocean ridge?
friction - convection currents in the mantle drag the plates away from the hot rising zone below the ridgegravity - gravity pulls down on the cold dense plate being subducted under the continent, dragging the plate away from the ridge
