- Mid-ocean Ridges - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
The fastest-spreading ridge moves at about 150 millimeters (about 6 inches) a year What kinds of geologic features can be found along these ridges? Mid-ocean ridges contain a wide variety of features, including ridges, rifts, valleys, seamounts, hydrothermal vents, fault zones, and more
- Exploring The Global Mid-Ocean Ridge - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
The RIDGE Program (Ridge InterDisciplinary Global Experiments-described below) embodies and promotes the spirit of this new cross-disciplinary approach to mid-ocean ridge investigations Technological developments also had an enormous influence on our perspective
- Mid-ocean Ridges – Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
As the oceanic plates move apart at mid-ocean ridges, rocks from Earth's mantle, far below, rise to fill the void, mostly via slow plastic flow
- Mid-Atlantic Ridge Volcanic Processes - Woods Hole Oceanographic . . .
These data also enable the design of future detailed geophysical and geochemical Mid-Atlantic Ridge studies at the same scale used to understand subaerial volcanic eruptions The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is composed of discrete spreading segments that are tens of kilometers long, and offset by transform faults and nontransform offsets
- Scientists Report New Type of Mid-Ocean Ridge in Remote Parts of the . . .
Scientists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) have identified a new type of ocean ridge that is spreading so slowly that Earth's mantle is exposed over large regions of the sea floor Their findings of a new ultraslow class of ridge, reported in the November 27 issue of the journal Nature, offer a major change in thinking about the formation of the great crustal plates that
- Marie Tharp - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
The extension of the valley into the narrow Gulf of Aden and landward into the Rift Valley of East Africa convinced Bruce in mid-1953 that the Mid-Atlantic Ridge was part of a gigantic 40,000-mile-long mid-oceanic ridge system that extended throughout all the world’s oceans
- Melt Extraction from the Mantle Beneath Mid-Ocean Ridges
As the oceanic plates move apart at mid-ocean ridges, rocks from Earth's mantle, far below, rise to fill the void, mostly via slow plastic flow
- Hitting the Hotspots - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
The great volcanic mid-ocean ridge system stretches continuously around the globe for 60,000 kilometers, nearly all of it hidden beneath the world's oceans
