Where do midocean ridges intersect the landmasses?
Midocean ridges are areas where continents broke apart. Midocean ridges are closest to the landmasses in younger oceans. One example where a midocean ridge intersected a landmass is the Arabian sea, which was formed by the pulling apart of the Arabian Peninsula and Africa.
Where do oceanic plates touch on earth?
At midocean ridges.At underocianic slip faults.
Is the Mid-Oceanic Ridge in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean?
One of the midocean ridges is, but others are in other oceans, seas, and bays.
What is the difference between a rift valley and a mid ocean ridge and what kinds of boundaries do they form at?
a rift valleyis a dip in the ocean floor a mid ocean ridge is a mountain chain formed on the ocean floor . Rift valley - divergent boundary MidOcean Ridge Convergent Boundary
What is located in midocean ridges?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is found on the ocean floor in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
When was MidOcean Partners created?
MidOcean Partners was created in 2003.

Where are the midocean ridges offset the most by faults?
At transform faults or transform zones.
Where do oceanic plates touch on earth?
At midocean ridges.At underocianic slip faults.
Is the Mid-Oceanic Ridge in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean?
One of the midocean ridges is, but others are in other oceans, seas, and bays.
Do Ocean sediments become younger or older away from midocean ridges?
Older, as it moves away from the mid-ocean ridge the sediment gets thicker and older
What are the 3 type of earthquakes?
(1)midocean spreading ridges, (2) subduction zones, and (3) transform faults.Normal fault, Reverse fault, and strike-slip fault
What has the author Patricia Elaine Joan Rodgers written?
Patricia Elaine Joan Rodgers has written: 'Midocean archipelagos and international law' -- subject(s): Archipelagoes, Law and legislation
What are the differences between ocean ridge and seamount?
The midocean ridges are the spreading centers where the plates are moving apart. The seamounts are extinct volcanos produced as the plate passed over a mantle hotspot.
The movement of the ocean floor on either side of a midocean ridge is best known as?
it is known as sea floor spreading. this is when the oceanic plates diverge or move apart which causes the magma from the mantle to rise forming new sea floor.
What is special about an abyssal plain?
Abyssal plains cover about 50% of the surface area on Earth and usually positioned between continents and midocean ridges. They are typically at least 3000m deep and represent some of the flatest, smoothest, and least explored landscapes on Earth.
Which two tectonic plates are separated by the midocean ridge?
The mid ocean ridge separates many plates, not just two. In the Atlantic Ocean it separates the Eurasian and African plates from the North American Plate and the African Plate from the South American Plate. In the Indian Ocean it separates the African Plate from the Antarctic, Australian, Indian Plates and the Australian Plate from the Antarctic Plate. In the Red Sea it separates the African Plate from the Arabian Plate. In the Pacific Ocean it separates the Pacific Plate from the Antarctic, Nazca, Cocos, and Juan de Fuca Plates and the Nazca Plate from the Cocos and Antarctic Plates.
