Is the Pacific Rise spreading faster than the Mid-Atlantic Ridge?
no
The mid-Atlantic ridge is spreading faster than the East Pacific Rise?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is actually spreading slower than the East Pacific Rise. The rate of seafloor spreading along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is estimated at about 2.5 centimeters per year, while the East Pacific Rise spreads at a rate of about 5 centimeters per year.
What are examples of plate boundary?
Mid-Atlantic Ridge and East Pacific Rise
Is the Mid-Atlantic ridge is the fastest-spreading ridge on earth?
No, it is actually one of the slowest spreading ridge on Earth. The slowest ridge is the Southwest Indian ridge, while the East Pacific Rise is the fastest.
Where can you see the sun rise on the pacific ocean side and set on the Atlantic ocean side?
Antarctica.
What point on earth can you see both the Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean with the naked eye?
From Cerro Jefe, near Panama City, it is possible to see both the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean from the same location. This makes Panama the only place in the world where you can see the sun rise in the Pacific and set in the Atlantic. (1) (1)from Wikipedia
Is the spreading rate greater on the East Pacific Rise or the Mid-Atlantic Ridge?
The spreading rate is greater on the East Pacific Rise compared to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The East Pacific Rise has a fast spreading rate of about 10-15 centimeters per year, while the Mid-Atlantic Ridge has a slower rate of approximately 2.5 centimeters per year. This difference in spreading rates is due to the varying tectonic activity and geological processes associated with each ridge.
Where does the sun rise in the Atlantic ocean and set in the Pacific ocean?
On the Panama Canal because of the way the oceans curve into the land
The mid ocean ridge is made up of the mid Atlantic ridge the eas pacific rise and the mid Indian ridge?
The mid-ocean ridge system is a continuous underwater mountain range that extends through all the major oceans. It includes the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, East Pacific Rise, and Central Indian Ridge, among others. These ridges are formed by tectonic plates moving apart, allowing magma from the Earth's mantle to rise and solidify, creating new oceanic crust.
Where does the sun rise in the pacific and set in the Atlantic?
Unless you count "Eurasia", the primary Europe/Asian land mass, then "nowhere". Australia and eastern Asia (Japan/China/Russia) see sunrises over the Pacific Ocean, while the Sun sets in the Atlantic in western Africa, Spain/Portugal, France, and England/Ireland/Scotland.
What earth plates spread apart slowly?
Divergent boundaries such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and East Pacific Rise are examples of earth plates spreading apart slowly. This process results in the continuous formation of new oceanic crust as magma rises to the surface and solidifies.
The East Pacific Rise separates the Nazca Plate from the?
The East Pacific Rise separates the Nazca Plate from the Pacific Plate.
