Mid Ocean Ridges Map

Mid Ocean Ridges Map. This activity consists of naming the continents, identifying mid-ocean ridges, and determining the age of the ocean floor The final map will allow you to explore all of the maps.

The now widely used location of mid oceanic ridges worldwide, published by P The mid-ocean ridge is the most extensive chain of mountains on Earth, stretching nearly 65,000 kilometers (40,390 miles) and with more than 90 percent of the mountain range lying in the deep ocean.

. The Mid-Ocean Ridge is crucial for understanding the mechanics of plate tectonics and seafloor spreading In fact, accurate maps along the mid-ocean ridge did not exist until the last ten years, and even now much of it remains.

. "Warm" colors (yellow to red) indicate the ridge rising above the seafloor, and the "cool" colors (green to blue) represent lower elevations Map showing the mid-ocean ridge system (yellow-green) in Earth's oceans
