Is mid-Atlantic ridge the same a the mid-atlantic ocean ridge?
Yes, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the Mid-Atlantic Ocean Ridge refer to the same geological feature. It is a continuous mountain range that runs down the center of the Atlantic Ocean, formed by tectonic plate movements. This underwater ridge is a divergent boundary where the Eurasian and North American plates are moving apart, as well as the South American and African plates. It plays a crucial role in the process of seafloor spreading.
Is the pattern of magnetic stripes in rocks on either side of a mid-ocean ridge the same?
its the same on either side of the mid-ocean ridge
What ocean is located 45 degrees north latitude and 45 degrees west longitude?
Those coordinates describe the location of one point in the Atlantic Ocean. Any other point in the same ocean has different coordinates.
Where are hurricane created?
Hurricanes are created in the Atlantic Ocean. The same things when created in the Pacific Ocean are called typhoons.
How do strips of magnetized rock on the ocean floor provide evidence of sea-floor spreading?
Strips of ocean-floor basalt record the polarity of earth's magnetic field at the time the rock formed. These strips form a pattern that is the same on both sides of the mid-ocean ridge. the pattern shows that ocean floor forms along mid-ocean ridges and then moves away from the ridge.
Is mid-Atlantic ridge the same a the mid-atlantic ocean ridge?
Yes, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the Mid-Atlantic Ocean Ridge refer to the same geological feature. It is a continuous mountain range that runs down the center of the Atlantic Ocean, formed by tectonic plate movements. This underwater ridge is a divergent boundary where the Eurasian and North American plates are moving apart, as well as the South American and African plates.

Is Atlantic sea the same thing as the Atlantic ocean?
Ocean and Sea are interchangeable - so yes.
How does the ridge-rift in the pacific ocean differ from that in the Atlantic ocean?
Pacific ocean is shrinking due to plate tectonics while Atlantic is increasing in size. Looked up the same question just now for a final tomorrow.
Is the Atlantic ocean the same as the Atlantic coast?
yes because the Atlantic coat runs into the ocean which causes them to be the same
Is the altanic ocean the same as the Atlantic coast?
yes it is because the Atlantic coast goes into the Atlantic ocean which causes it to be the same
How old are the oldest rock of the Atlantic sea floor?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is part of the greater mid-ocean ridge system, an underwater mountain range that is over 40,000 miles long. The age of new rock closest to the ridge would be roughly the same anywhere along the ridge.
Do you have a chart for average temp and precipitation for Atlantic ocean?
no, i am looking for the exact same thing...i am sorry, comrade
Is the Atlantic Ocean the body of Water for the Gulf of Mexico?
It is connected to it, certainly. All seas are connected to the oceans in one way or another, except inland seas, obviously. The International Hydrographic Organization designates the Gulf of Mexico as an arm of the Atlantic Ocean so yes, it is considered the Atlantic Ocean.
Are North America and Africa the same distance from the Mid-Atlantic ridge?
Africa is 2,400 km from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and North America is 3,000 km from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at its closest point. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is part of the longest mountain chain in the world. Most of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is under water, but parts of the elevation extend above sea level.
Is the Atlantic coast the same as the Atlantic ocean?
yes
How did the trade routes across the Atlantic Ocean link Europe Africa and the America?
h
Is the pacific ocean same size as the Atlantic ocean?
The Pacific Ocean is the world's largest, in area. It is much larger than the Atlantic Ocean.
