What technology did scientists use in the mid-1900s to map the mid-ocean ridge?
Sonar.
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.
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
How an isochron map of the ocean floor supports the theory of seafoor spreading?
An isochron is a line on a map that connects points that have the same age. An isochron map of the ocean floor supports the theory of seafloor spreading because it shows the older rock near the deep sea trenches and the younger rocks near ocean ridges.
What is a ridge in geography?
To seal the ridge from weather. If a ridge vent is used it is just that, a vent for the roof.
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.

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
