What else can I help you with?
What are the features of the deep ocean basin?
Abyssal Plain,Ocean Trench,Seamount,and Mid-Ocean ridge
What order does the ocean floors go in?
The order is continental shelf, continental slope, continental rise, seamount, abyssal plain, mid ocean ridge, and trench
What are four main features of the deep ocean basins?
They are: Continental Shelf Continental Slope Abyssal Plain Ocean Deeps
What part of the ocean is the abyssal zone in?
The bit between the mid ocean ridge and the continental rise.
Is the mid ocean ridge the same thing as the mid Atlantic ridge?
No, the mid-ocean ridge is not the same as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, although the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a specific part of the mid-ocean ridge system. The mid-ocean ridge refers to a continuous chain of underwater mountains formed by tectonic plate movements, spanning across the world's oceans. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is the segment located between the North American and Eurasian plates in the North Atlantic Ocean, specifically marking the boundary where these plates are diverging.
What is the opposite of a trench?
The opposite of a trench would be an embankment, berm, or dike.(the opposite of a marine trench is a seamount or ridge)
Mountain on the ocean floor that is completey under water?
A seamount is a mountain on the ocean floor that rises from the seabed but does not reach the water's surface. These undersea mountains are formed by volcanic activity and can be found at various depths in the ocean. They can support unique ecosystems and play a role in oceanic processes.
Why are there volcanoes at mid ocean ridges?
Mid-ocean ridges and seamount relates to volcanoes by both having lava and it also comes out and cools
What kind of boundary is located at the mid ocean ridge?
The mid-ocean ridge is formed along a divergent or constructive plate boundary between two plates of oceanic crust.
What is an ocean ridge?
An ocean ridge is a line of mountains in middle of the ocean under the level of water.
Why is the mid ocean ridge in the middle of the ocean?
The Mid-Ocean Ridge is found in the ocean,all arround the Earth.-EXTRA-The Mid-Ocean Ridge winds around the Earth as if it were the sitches around a baseball.It passes through every single of Earth's ocean and is about 80,000 kilometers long.
What is the relationship between sea floor sediment thickness and mid-ocean ridge distance?
The further away a point is from the mid-ocean ridge, the deeper the sediment layer should be. Because the ocean floor is relatively new nearer the ridge, sediments have had less time to accumulate.
