What is the heat flow range of the mid Atlantic ridge?
The heat flow range of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is approximately 40-180 milliwatts per square meter. Heat flow is generally higher near the spreading center and decreases as you move away from it on either side of the ridge axis.
Is a high point or ridge that determines the direction that rivers flow?
It doesn't have to be a high ridge, but in any event, it is the 'Continental Divide'.
Does granitic crust form at the mid oceanic ridge?
Granitic crust does not form at the mid-oceanic ridge. Rather another type of igneous rock Basalt is formed at the Mid-Oceanic ridge. Both are silicate rocks and have a high oxygen and silica content. The difference is that Granite is formed intrusively, that is within the Earth's crust. Basalt is extrusive, that is it is formed above the Earth's surface, such as at the bottom of the ocean at the Mid-Oceanic ridge.
I where did high thermal energy flow at mid ocean ridge come from?
High thermal energy flow at mid-ocean ridges comes from the molten mantle material that rises to the surface through the process of mantle convection. This hot material is released into the oceanic crust and seawater interacts with it, creating hydrothermal vents. These vents release very high-temperature fluids into the ocean, contributing to the high thermal energy flow at mid-ocean ridges.
What is the narrow zone on the mid-ocean ridge crest where most geologic activity occurs?
The narrow zone on the mid-ocean ridge crest where most geologic activity occurs is called the rift zone. It is characterized by high heat flow, volcanic eruptions, and tectonic spreading, creating new oceanic crust as magma rises to the surface and solidifies.
What is Heat transfer in high speed flow?
It is heat transfer at speed higher than 0.3 Mach.
Why is a high temperature require to form magma at the oceanic ridges than in the continental crust?
High temperatures are required to form magma at oceanic ridges because the mantle beneath these regions is hotter due to its proximity to the Earth's core. In contrast, the continental crust is thicker and insulates the mantle, resulting in magma formation at lower temperatures. Additionally, the higher pressure at oceanic ridges can also contribute to the higher temperatures needed for magma formation.
When was Ridge High School created?
Ridge High School was created in 1961.
What do mid ocean ridges indicate?
Mid-ocean ridges indicate areas where tectonic plates are moving apart, leading to the formation of new oceanic crust. They are characterized by volcanic activity and high heat flow, creating a dynamic environment for the Earth's crust to be reshaped and renewed.
What m is a type of material that let's heat flow through it easily?
metal
How do heat flow patterns in the lithosphere provide evidence for this relationship?
The heat flow is high on the lithosphere/sea for, creating ideal circumstances for the plates to move easier, hence plate tectonics.
Why is a Ridge in the 500-mb flow pattern is associated with a pool of relatively warm air?
The ridge creates negative curvature vorticity which is conducive to the development of high pressure just downstream. This anticyclone then transports air meridionally around the return flow.
