GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A mid-ocean ridge (MOR) is a seafloor mountain system formed by plate tectonics. It typically has a depth of about 2, 600 meters (8, 500 ft) and rises about 2, 000 meters (6, 600 ft) above the deepest portion of an ocean basin. This feature is where seafloor spreading takes place along a divergent plate boundary.

Detailed explanation-2: -A seamount is an underwater mountain formed by volcanic activity.

Detailed explanation-3: -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 underwater, in the deep ocean.

Detailed explanation-4: -A mid-ocean ridge (or mid-oceanic ridge) is an underwater mountain range, typically having a valley known as a rift running along its axis, formed by plate tectonics. This type of oceanic ridge is characteristic of what is known as an oceanic spreading center.

Detailed explanation-5: -The mid-ocean ridge is a continuous range of undersea volcanic mountains that encircles the globe almost entirely underwater.
