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 is located in midocean ridges?
At mid-ocean ridges, tectonic plates are moving apart, creating new oceanic crust through volcanic activity. This results in the formation of underwater mountain chains and hydrothermal vents, which support unique ecosystems due to the high temperatures and mineral-rich waters.
What is the type of cylindrical map projection that is commonly used and shows straight meridians and parallels that intersect at right angles?
The type of cylindrical map projection that fits this description is the Mercator projection. It is commonly used for navigation purposes due to its property of showing straight meridians and parallels that intersect at right angles, although it does distort the sizes of landmasses at higher latitudes.
Where do oceanic plates touch on earth?
Oceanic plates typically touch at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed as magma rises from the mantle and solidifies. Additionally, oceanic plates can also interact at subduction zones, where one plate is forced beneath another, leading to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic activity.
The part of Earth's rocky outer layer that makes up the landmasses is the what?
The part of Earth's rocky outer layer that makes up the landmasses is the what ?
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.
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.

Do parallel intersect?
no they are straight lines that never intersect, intersecting lines intersect.
Where are the continent?
They are landmasses on Earth just like parts of the Earth. They are to divide earth into landmasses.
Does a rectangle bisect or intersect?
intersect
Is it that if two different circles intersect then they intersect at one and only one point?
If two circles intersect then they have to intersect at two points.
