What type of plate movement causes mid ocean ridges and sea floor spreading?
Mid-ocean ridges and seafloor spreading are characteristics of oceanic diverging plates, plates that are moving away from each other.
What plates corresponde to mid ocean ridges?
Oceanic Plate.
What feature forms at diverging oceanic plates?
Ridges of buoyant oceanic crust form at diverging oceanic plate boundaries.
When oceanic plates collide what volcanic landforms made?
Mid - ocean ridges
What oceanic plates collide what volcanic landforms are made?
Mid - ocean ridges
What is formed when earth plates crack?
Faults, graben and mid oceanic ridges.
Why does earth size remain the same in spite of the movement of plates away from each other at oceanic ridges?
do anti-viral drugs developed for aids work on other virus
Places where new seafloor is being created?
New oceanic crust is being created at the mid-ocean ridges.
Why do oceanic rises and oceanic ridges exist?
They are located at spreading centers in the middle of the ocean. As tectonic plates move apart, magma fills it in and creates ridges and rises which are essentially mountain chains.
Where would two plates move apart at mid-oceanic ridges?
at a divergent plate boundary
New crust forms when or where?
where two plates pull apart from each other at oceanic ridges
What are Continental margins near the edges of converging plates?
In the main along the mid oceanic ridges and along oceanic trenches.
