Is there a valley in the center of the mid-ocean ridge?

Yes, there is a valley in the center of the mid-ocean ridge called the rift valley. It is formed due to tectonic plates diverging and magma rising to create new oceanic crust. The rift valley is a significant feature of the mid-ocean ridge system.


Widest part of the great rift valley?

mid-ocean-ridge


What types of volcanoes form at mid-ocean ridges?

Rift volcanoes.


When two Continenal plates diverge what landforms are made?

When two Continental plates diverge, landforms like rift valleys and mid-ocean ridges are created. Rift valleys form on land where the plates are separating, while mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges that form in the ocean.


What is found at the mid-ocean ridges?

New oceanic crust from rift volcanism.


Does divergent boundaries have any features?

Yes: Mid-Ocean Ridges and Rift Valleys


What geological feature can be found at the mid ocean ridge?

usually a rift or trench


What kind of landforms do divergent boundaries make up?

Divergent boundaries create landforms such as rift valleys and mid-ocean ridges. Rift valleys form on continents when land is pulled apart, while mid-ocean ridges develop along the ocean floor as new crust is created.


What kind of landforms are formed at divergent plate boundaries?

Mid Ocean Ridges and Rift Valleys.


Where can you see a divergent boundary without going to a mid ocean bridge?

You would need to find a continental rift. The best example of an active continental rift is the East African Rift.


Crust is created where?

In the mid-ocean rift , a 40,000 plus mile long underwater divergent plate boundary that is part of every ocean , and at rift zones of diverging tectonic plates on continents.


What runs through the center of the Mid-Ocean Ridge?

Volcanoes and you might find magma. (hot molten rock)
