Detailed explanation-1: -The Mid-Atlantic Ridge runs down the center of the Atlantic Ocean, slowly spreading at a rate of 2 to 5 centimeters (0.8 to 2 inches) per year and forming a rift valley that is about the depth and width of the Grand Canyon.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mid-ocean ridges are created by the upwelling of basaltic lava and lateral rifting of ocean crust (Figure 6.12). They form a rift valley system that encircles the Earth along a total length of over 75, 000 km (Figure 6.11).

Detailed explanation-3: -A rift valley is different from a mid ocean with respect to the tectonic plates. There realistically is a rift valley if the secure border is typically discovered between two continental plates. Apart from a widening valley, it equally contributes to steep mountain sides spreading.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Mid-Atlantic Ridge runs down the center of the Atlantic Ocean. It spread apart at rates of 2 to 5 cm per year, and at these relatively slow spreading rates, the ridge has a deep rift valley along its crest. The rift valley is 1 to 3 km deep, about the depth and width of the Grand Canyon.

Detailed explanation-5: -The material that erupts at spreading centers along the mid-ocean ridge is primarily basalt, the most common rock on Earth.
