Mountain ranges at the bottom of the ocean are called?
Submarine mountain ranges at the bottom of the ocean are called oceanic ridges or mid-ocean ridges. These are underwater mountain ranges that form along plate boundaries where tectonic plates are diverging or moving apart.
What is a submarine ridge?
A ridge is a geological feature that features a continuous elevational crest for some distance. If the ridge is under the ocean or sea, then it is called a submarine ridge.
How are mid-ocean ridges and seamount relates to volcanoes?
Mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain chains where tectonic plates move apart, allowing magma to rise up and form new crust, often accompanied by volcanic activity. Seamounts are submarine volcanoes that are formed by lava rising from the ocean floor. Both mid-ocean ridges and seamounts are related to volcanic activity as they involve the release of molten rock (magma) onto the ocean floor.

What has the author Karlis Muehlenbachs written?

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 meant by submarine mountain range?
A submarine mountain range is an underwater range of mountains that may be formed by plate tectonics or volcanic activity. These ranges are often found along the ocean floor and can extend for hundreds or thousands of kilometers. They can create a diverse range of habitats for marine life.

What vechile is used to explore the deepest parts of the ocean?
A submarine and probably an unmanned one at that due to pressure concerns.

When were Mid-Ocean ridges first discoerverd?
The Mid-Ocean ridges were first discovered in the 1950's
