Detailed explanation-1: -The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) is a mostly underwater mountain range in the Atlantic Ocean that runs from 87°N-about 333km south of the North Pole-to subantarctic Bourvet island at 54°S.

Detailed explanation-2: -The massive mid-ocean ridge system is a continuous range of underwater volcanoes that wraps around the globe like seams on a baseball, stretching nearly 65, 000 kilometers (40, 390 miles). The majority of the system is underwater, with an average water depth to the top of the ridge of 2, 500 meters (8, 200 feet).

Detailed explanation-3: -The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) is known as a mid-ocean ridge, an underwater mountain system formed by plate tectonics. It is the result of a divergent plate boundary that runs from 87° N – about 333 km (207 mi) south of the North Pole – to 54 °S, just north of the coast of Antarctica.

Detailed explanation-4: -The island of Iceland is one of the extraordinary places where you can view the Mid-Atlantic Ridge above sea level.
