What else can I help you with?
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.
What is difference between ocean ridges and rises?
Ridges and Rises are uplifts in oceanic crust caused by volcanic eruption in oceans, the difference between a ridge and a rise is of rift valleys, ridges have long valleys and rises do not have any valleys
What kind of landforms do divergent boundaries make up?
Divergent boundaries create landforms such as rift valleys and mid-ocean ridges. Rift valleys form on continents when land is pulled apart, while mid-ocean ridges develop along the ocean floor as new crust is created.
How do volcanos form along ocean ridges?
Along rift valleys, lava pours out of cracks in the ocean floor, gradually building new mountains.
Do divergent plate boundaries only occur on the ocean floor?
No, divergent plate boundaries can occur both on the ocean floor and on land. When they occur on the ocean floor, they create mid-ocean ridges, while on land they can create rift valleys.
What are the features of the ocean floor?
The ocean floor is irregular as to the land we can see. It has mountains and ridges and plains and valleys and volcanoes. It even has underwater earthquakes, and just about every other land feature you could name.
How does sea floor spreading alter the shape of the ocean floor?
Sea floor spreading occurs when new oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges and pushes the existing crust apart. As the new crust cools and solidifies, it creates a symmetrical pattern where the ocean floor becomes wider. This process alters the shape of the ocean floor by creating a series of parallel ridges and valleys.
The youngest rocks on the ocean floor are located where?
The youngest rocks on the ocean floor are located at mid-ocean ridges. These ridges are always found at divergent boundaries.
The youngest rocks in the ocean floor are located at the mid ocean?
Ridges
What are the three regions of the ocean floor?
the continental Margin, Ocean Basin Floor and Mid-Ocean ridge :D
What is the floor of the ocean called?
The floor of the ocean is called the seabed or ocean floor. It is made up of different features such as abyssal plains, trenches, ridges, and volcanoes.
Does divergent boundaries have any features?
Yes: Mid-Ocean Ridges and Rift Valleys
