What else can I help you with?
What prominent feature of the ocean floor is missing from the Sea Floor Spreading Model at this point?
Mountains
What are volcanoes which have submerged beneath the surface of the sea termed?
Submerged underwater volcanoes are referred to as submarine volcanoes or seamounts. These volcanic structures can be found on the ocean floor and may rise from the seabed to create underwater mountains.
What forms Long chains of mountains that rise up from the ocean?
Long chains of mountains that rise up from the ocean are primarily formed by tectonic plate movements, particularly at convergent boundaries where plates collide. This process, known as orogeny, can result in the uplift of underwater mountain ranges, such as mid-ocean ridges. Additionally, volcanic activity can contribute to the formation of these mountainous structures, creating islands and underwater peaks as magma rises from the ocean floor.
What are Isolated volcanic peaks on the ocean floor known as?
Isolated volcanic peaks on the ocean floor are known as seamounts. The deepest parts of the ocean are long, narrow features known as deep ocean trenches.
Are there mountains ridges valleys and plains on the ocean floor?
Yes, the ocean floor can have mountain ridges, valleys, and plains. Mountain ridges are formed by tectonic activity, valleys may be created by the movement of tectonic plates, and plains can result from sedimentation and volcanic activity. These features are important in shaping the ocean floor's topography.
Do the ocean has mountains and valleys?
Yes the ocean floor has mountains and deep trenches.
Are there any mountains on the ocean floor on the ocean floor?
Derr! there called sea mount's.
Volcanic mountains scattered along the ocean basin are?
Seamounts are isolated volcanic mountains scatteredacross the ocean floor
Are there mountains under the ocean?
Yes, there are underwater mountains called seamounts that rise from the ocean floor. These volcanic structures can be as large as terrestrial mountains and provide unique habitats for marine life. It is estimated that there are thousands of seamounts across the world's oceans.
The ocean has valleys and mountains?
The ocean floor does have underwater mountains called seamounts and undersea valleys known as trenches. These features are created by tectonic plate movements and volcanic activity on the ocean floor.
What is the underwater volcanic mountains that divide the ocean floor into two parts?
volcanic mountains not formed on mid-ocean ridge
Are mountains found only on the continents?
No, mountains can also be found on the ocean floor. These underwater mountains are known as seamounts or guyots. They are formed by volcanic activity and can rise thousands of feet from the ocean floor.
What prominent feature of the ocean floor is missing from the Sea Floor Spreading Model at this point?
Mountains
What do you think is causing the ocean floor to increase in size?
Sea Floor Spreading and the way the volcanoes erupt make the mountains erode into the ocean.
A chain of mountains on the ocean floor?
The mid-ocean ridge. The longest in the world, in the sea and on land.
Sea mountains are volcanic mountains located on the ocean floor?
Not exactly. Sea mountains are underwater topographic features that rise above the ocean floor but are not necessarily volcanic in origin. They can be formed through various geological processes such as tectonic activity or erosion.
Mountains located on the ocean floor are higher than the tallest mountain on land?
true!
