Is mid ocean ridges the result of plate convergence?

Which mountain ranges was the result continental continental convergence?
The Andes
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.
Is Pinatubo is along converging plate boundaries?
Yes. Pinatubo and the other volcanoes of the Philippines are the result of he convergence between the Philippine Plate and the Eurasian plate.
Were the Andes mountains formed as a result of ocean continental convergence?
The Andes Mountains :) ***** I would like to add the Himalayas, which rose when the Indian Plate collided with the European plate.
What three figures can result from an oceanic oceanic plate convergence?
mountian ranges ocean canyons and rift valleys
What is it called when tectonic plates move closer?
When tectonic plates move closer together, it is called plate convergence. This can result in the formation of features like mountain ranges and deep ocean trenches.
What plate boundary was the Shensi Earthquake?
Convergence plate boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the Indian Plate.
Which two tectonic plates are separated by the midocean ridge?
The mid ocean ridge separates many plates, not just two. In the Atlantic Ocean it separates the Eurasian and African plates from the North American Plate and the African Plate from the South American Plate. In the Indian Ocean it separates the African Plate from the Antarctic, Australian, Indian Plates and the Australian Plate from the Antarctic Plate. In the Red Sea it separates the African Plate from the Arabian Plate. In the Pacific Ocean it separates the Pacific Plate from the Antarctic, Nazca, Cocos, and Juan de Fuca Plates and the Nazca Plate from the Cocos and Antarctic Plates.
Which mountains were formed as a result of ocean continental convergence?

In what kind of situation might volcanoes form?
Volcanoes typically form at tectonic plate boundaries, where one plate is forced beneath another in a process called subduction. This subduction creates a zone of intense pressure and heat that can result in magma rising to the surface, forming a volcano. Volcanoes can also form along mid-ocean ridges and hotspots in the Earth's mantle.
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.
