GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Mid-ocean ridges occur along divergent plate boundaries, where new ocean floor is created as the Earth’s tectonic plates spread apart. As the plates separate, molten rock rises to the seafloor, producing enormous volcanic eruptions of basalt.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mid-Ocean Ridges Seafloor spreading occurs along mid-ocean ridges-large mountain ranges rising from the ocean floor.

Detailed explanation-3: -A seamount is an underwater sea mountain formed by plate tectonics and volcanic activity. Seamounts form near the boundaries of tectonic plates and hotspots (Image 1). Plates force ocean and crust to descend towards Earth’s hot interior as they converge and collide near subduction zones.

Detailed explanation-4: -5. What are examples of Mid Ocean-Ridges? Some examples include-the Mid-Indian Ocean Ridge, Carlsberg Ridge, Pacific-Antarctic Ridge, and the East Pacific Rise.
