Mid Ocean Ridges Map. PPT Geology Plate Tectonics MidOcean Ridge System PowerPoint "Warm" colors (yellow to red) indicate the ridge rising above the seafloor, and the "cool" colors (green to blue) represent lower elevations There are more ridges whose names don't fit: The Galápagos Ridge runs from the East Pacific Rise to Cntral America, and the northern continuation of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is called Reykjanes Ridge south of Iceland, Mohns Ridge.

In fact, accurate maps along the mid-ocean ridge did not exist until the last ten years, and even now much of it remains. The alternating patterns of magnetic anomalies found on either side of the ridge provide evidence of periodic magnetic field reversals and help date the age of the.
Mid-ocean ridges are divergent boundaries where convection currents in the mantle lift the ocean floor and produce a rift in the lithosphere that follows the crest of the ridge Mid-ocean ridges are divergent boundaries where convection currents in the mantle lift the ocean floor and produce a rift in the lithosphere that follows the crest of the ridge The mid-ocean ridge is the world's longest continuous mountain range, stretching over 65,000 kilometers (40,000 miles) across the globe.

"Warm" colors (yellow to red) indicate the ridge rising above the seafloor, and the "cool" colors (green to blue) represent lower elevations Mid-ocean ridges around the globe are linked by plate tectonic boundaries and the trace of the ridges across the ocean floor appears similar to the seam of a baseball
