What kinds of rocks are associated with ocean ridges?
Igneous rocks are usually associated with ocean ridges
Which of the following is associated with mid ocean ridges?
Volcanic structures
True or False Mid-ocean ridges are actually underwater mountain ranges?
It is true that mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges. These ridges are long, seismically active submarine ridges associated with seafloor spreading.
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.
Black smokers are associated with?
Includes oceanic ridges, mineral-rich waters, and hot water.
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.
What kinds of rocks are associated with ocean ridges?
Igneous rocks are usually associated with ocean ridges
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 associated with mid-ocean ridges?
mountainous topography
What is located in midocean ridges?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is found on the ocean floor in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
What are Mid-ocean ridges associated with?
sea floor spreading
Which of the following is associated with mid ocean ridges?
Volcanic structures
