occurs along the mid-ocean ridge, where the new oceanic crust is born, made of lavas and sediments. Over the years, these mid-ocean ridges might be responsible for a lot of undersea and sea-surface calamities, like tsunamis and earthquakes, but for right now, everything seems to be alrigh...
The mid-ocean ridge is the world's longest mountain range, although it is submerged. It is a continuous ocean ridge that stretches through all the world's oceans, including the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, and Southern Ocean. It exists along the boundary oftectonic plates. In fact, t...

What ocean surrounds the North Pole? What geographic feature separates Korea from the mainland of China? What type of boundary occurs along a mid-ocean ridge? What connects the Atlantic ocean to the Mediterranean Sea? What type of boundary is the North American Plate?
What type of boundary occurs along a mid-ocean ridge? Which type of boundary occurs where plates are colliding? How big is the Eurasian Plate? How old is the African Plate boundary? At which kind(s) of plate boundaries does subduction occur? What type of plate boundary was the Japan earth...
A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. Along these boundaries, earthquakes are common and magma (molten rock) rises from the Earth's mantle to the surface, solidifying to create new oceanic crust. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is an example of divergent plate...
Magnetic anomalies are bands of rock that run parallel to the mid-ocean ridge system. What do they provide evidence for? A. Bacteria lived in the ocean floor millions of years ago B. Volcanoes form at ocean ridges. C. The sea floor was formed in stripes D. Granite ...
Paleontological reconstructions of plankton community structure during warm periods of the Cenozoic (last 66 million years) reveal that deep-dwelling ‘twilight zone’ (200–1000 m) plankton were less abundant and diverse, and lived much closer to the
The best example of the divergent boundary is the mid-oceanic ridge, where tectonic plates gradually keep moving away from each other while the rising magma continuously creates a new crust. A convergent boundary, on the other hand, is where one lithospheric plate subsides under the other. These...
