where, in accordance withplate tectonictheory,lithospheric plates(also called tectonic plates) move apart and new crust is created by magma (molten rock) pushing up from themantle. The mid-ocean ridge system is an example of a divergent (rather than a convergent or transform) plate boundary. ...
A midocean ridge is a submarine mountain range with a valley (rift) at its center. It corresponds to the divergent boundary between two tectonic plates (divergent plate boundary). Here the Earth’s crust is spreading, forming new ocean floor that gradually moves away from the ridge at a spee...

Mid-Ocean Ridges: Fine Scale Tectonic, Volcanic and Hydrothermal Processes Within the Plate Boundary Zone 来自 mendeley.com 喜欢 0 阅读量: 159 作者: Macdonald,K C 摘要: The fine-scale tectonic, volcanic, and hydrothermal processes of mid-ocean ridges are reviewed, including the three-dimensional...
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a mid-ocean ridge located at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean that stretches approximately 16,000 kilometers from north to south. Mid-ocean ridges are large central rift valleys surrounded by mountain ranges created by tectonic forces along divergent plate boundary lines...

The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) is a mid-ocean ridge, a divergent tectonic plate boundary located along the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, and the longest mountain range in the world. It separates the Eurasian Plate and North American Plate in the North Atlantic, and the African Plate from the...
and Southern Ocean. It exists along the boundary oftectonic plates. In fact, the only reason that the mid-ocean ridge exists is due to weaknesses in the Earth's crust at plate interfaces which permit volcanic activity. The volcanic activity generatesmagma, which cools to form this continuous ...
