ocean notes
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge, East Pacific Rise, East Africa Rift Valleys, Red Sea, Gulf of California are examples of what kind of plate boundaries.
-divergent
Andes Mountains, Cascade Mountains, Aleutian Islands, Mariana Islands, Himalaya Mountains, and the Alps are examples of what kind of plate boundaries
-convergent
Is it a faster or slower spreading mid-ocean ridge that produces broader and less rugged segments?
-faster
When you have Oceanic-Contintental convergance, which one becomes subducted?
-oceanic
The San Andreas Fault is what kind of boundary?
-transform
The areas where mantle plumes come to the surface are called what?
-hotspots
Much fluid basaltic lava erupts on the seafloor at mid-ocean ridges.
Such eruptions pose little risk to humans because almost all of these occur at the bottom of the ocean. The island of Iceland, where a midocean ridge coincides with a hot spot, is an exception.
