Consequent movement of the ocean floor and of the continents in opposite directions outward from the ridge is widening the Atlantic basin at an estimated rate of about 0.4 inch (1 cm) to a maximum of about 4 inches (10 cm) per year. The worldwide average rate has been estimated at 1 ...
Relief of theocean floor The outstanding feature of the Atlantic floor is theMid-Atlantic Ridge, animmensemedian mountain range extending throughout the length of the Atlantic, claiming the centre third of the ocean bed, and reaching roughly 1,000 miles (1,600 km) in breadth. This feature, ...

Fracture zone: Faults in the ocean floor that form at nearly right angles to the ocean's major ridges. Guyot: An extinct, submarine volcano with a flat top. Ridge: Very long underwater mountain ranges created as a by-product of seafloor spreading. Rift: Crevice that runs down the mid...
This ‘unfaulting’ mechanism exerts a first-order influence on the fabric of the global ocean floor and provides a physical explanation for reverse-faulting earthquakes in an extensional environment.

Which ocean zone lies inside v-shaped ocean trenches? Where does the lithosphere of the Atlantic Ocean form? Where does seafloor spreading occur? Where is oceanic crust thickest? What are the major regions on the ocean floor? What type of boundary occurs along a mid-ocean ridge?
A composite map showing the topography (relief) of the ocean floor clearly reveals the mid-ocean ridge system, which appears here as dark "seams" extending through the oceans. In the Atlantic Ocean, the mid-ocean ridge is called the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. It curves from the Arctic Ocean southw...
