What is the name of the mountain range under the Atlantis Ocean?
It's called the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
Is the crust thicker under the sea or a mountain range?
The crust is generally thicker under a mountain range compared to under the sea. This is because mountain ranges are formed by the collision of tectonic plates, which can result in the crust being pushed up and folded, leading to its thickening. In contrast, the crust under the ocean is thinner due to the process of seafloor spreading where new crust is constantly being created at mid-ocean ridges.
Are they any mountain ranges under the sea?
Yes, there are mountain ranges under the sea. Mid-ocean ridge is a term for underwater mountains. The East Pacific Rise is an example of underwater mountains.
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 the greatest mountain ranges on earth under the ocean?
because there are tectonic plates that meet in the ocean. When they collide, it pushes the earth up sometimes extremely, forming a mountain or a mountain range. Hope this answers your question! :^)
What part of the ocean floor is part of the continuous under water mountain range that circles earth?
The part of the ocean floor that is part of the continuous underwater mountain range that circles Earth is known as the mid-ocean ridge. It is a long mountain chain where tectonic plates are moving apart, allowing magma to rise and create new crust. The mid-ocean ridge is the largest mountain range on Earth, stretching over 60,000 kilometers.
How many plates are under the Pacific Ocean?
one plate, the pacific plate
Is the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean?
The Mariana trench is under the Mariana islands in the pacific ocean and is 11.03 km deep.
Is the Southern Ocean part of the pacific?
If it is in the region of the Pacific, then yes. If it is the southern part under the Atlantic, then it is part of the Atlantic Ocean.
How many tectonic plates are under the Pacific Ocean?
one plate, the pacific plate
Is the Andes mountain range above sea level?
Yes. The Andes Mountain Range is above sea level. As the Pacific Plate slides under South America, the Andes continue growing taller. They may have grown higher with this latest earthquake in Chile.
What is under Honduras?
El Salvador, Nicaragua, and the Pacific Ocean.
