i think its uprising magma wen it rise up, it makes the divergence marginthat would cause mid oceanic ridge

How does a moraine form?
A moraine forms by sediment ridges. 👍 or 👎
What is special about an abyssal plain?
Abyssal plains cover about 50% of the surface area on Earth and usually positioned between continents and midocean ridges. They are typically at least 3000m deep and represent some of the flatest, smoothest, and least explored landscapes on Earth.
New crust forms when or where?
where two plates pull apart from each other at oceanic ridges
What is the color and type of rock that forms oceanic crust at mid-ocean ridges?
dark colored and igneous
What feature forms at diverging oceanic plates?
Ridges of buoyant oceanic crust form at diverging oceanic plate boundaries.
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.
Where are the midocean ridges offset the most by faults?
At transform faults or transform zones.
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.
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
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
When was MidOcean Partners created?
MidOcean Partners was created in 2003.
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.
What is located in midocean ridges?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is found on the ocean floor in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
Where does new crust forms in the earth?
at ocean ridges
What naturally forms at divergent boundaries?
Mid-ocean ridges
How does moraine form?
A moraine forms by sediment ridges. 👍 or 👎
What process forms new seafloor?
Seafloor spreading at midoceanic ridges.
