What is the difference between a mid ocean ridge and a rift?

What motion of the sea floor causes the mid Atlantic ridge rift valley?
The drifiting apart of the continental plates.
What physical feature is created when the seafloor spreads?
A mid-ocean ridge is formed along a line created by sea floor spreading. It usually consists of parallel mountain ranges separated by a valley. Sea floor spreading is the result of plate tectonics, where two crustal plates are moving apart. The ridge is formed along lines of the weakest points between the two plates.
Mid-Ocean ridges are places where tectonic plates are doing what?
The Atlantic mid ocean ridge is where the seafloor is pulling apart. The ridge is formed by the magma beneath the seafloor shooting up and quickly cooling and hardening.
Area where new rock is formed when two plates move apart?
Mid-ocean ridge. A divergent plate boundary.
What is an undersea mountain range with a steep narrow valley along the center?
That would be a mid-ocean ridge, which is an underwater mountain range that forms at divergent plate boundaries. The steep narrow valley along the center is called a rift valley, where new oceanic crust is formed as tectonic plates pull apart.

The huge trough down the center of the mid-ocean ridge is where?
The huge trough running down the center of the mid-ocean ridge is a Rift Valley. A Rift Valley is a deep linear valley extending along the axis of the ridge.
What does the rift valley along a mid ocean ridge mark?
It represents the line of divergence (divergent plate margin) between oceanic plates, where two oceanic plates are moving apart and new oceanic crust is formed.
Ridge and valley region of Pennsylvania?

Where do two of the earth's plates split apart?
The Mid-Atlantic-Ridge is where two of Earth's plates split apart. The Mid-Atlantic-Ridge was formed along a divergent boundary where seafloor spreading is taking place.
What is the difference between a rift valley and a mid ocean ridge and what kinds of boundaries do they form at?
a rift valleyis a dip in the ocean floor a mid ocean ridge is a mountain chain formed on the ocean floor . Rift valley - divergent boundary MidOcean Ridge Convergent Boundary
What land feature most closely resembles a mid ocean ridge?
In terms of divergence, a rift valley is comparable as it is formed by two areas moving apart, causing the land between them to fall (though this looks nothing like a ridge). This, however, does not directly resemble a ridge, but in principal it is similar. In appearance, a mountain range like the Himalayas may be seen to resemble the shape and peaks of the ridge.
