Question

What is mid-oceanic ridge?

Answer 1

The mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain system, the longest on earth, about 70,000 km long. It forms a divergent plate boundary where two tectonic plates move apart. This ridge features a central rift and frequent volcanic eruptions, which cause moderate earthquakes. It lies in the middle of the world’s oceans and is a site of continuous lava eruption from the earth’s mantle.
