Wind shear (red - strong shear; green - low shear). Shear is typically strong to start the hurricane season: ...

Researchers have uncovered a "lost city" in the Atlantic Ocean that could unlock the secrets of life's emergence on our planet. The Lost City Hydrothermal Field, an ancient system of mineral ...

Beneath the Atlantic's dark depths lies a real-life "Lost City", a mysterious underwater world of towering structures that could unlock the secrets of life's origins on Earth.

Atmospheric river reaches Mid-Atlantic, bringing dangerous downpours A dangerous storm stretching 1,000 miles along the Eastern Seaboard will bring torrential rain to the Mid-Atlantic on Tuesday.

Enhanced spreading at the Mid-Atlantic Ocean Ridge due to ice melting from Greenland may have contributed to that fiery past—allowing more magma to rise to the surface, fueling the eruption of ...

Some ridges spread more slowly than others; slower-spreading ridges like the mid-oceanic ridge in the Atlantic are steeper than the faster-spreading ridges of the Pacific.

Petrological systematics of mid-ocean ridge basalts: Constraints on melt generation beneath ocean ridges. Pp. 183–280 in Mantle Flow and Melt Generation at Mid-Ocean Ridges.

Scientists in an expedition to the Mid-Atlantic ocean ridge lifted almost a mile of precious rocks from beneath an exotic feature linked to life’s possible beginning.

When oceanic plates form at mid-ocean ridges, they are hot and buoyant, but as they move away from the ridge, they cool and become heavy.

The Atlantic Ocean was born ~150 million years ago when North and South America split from Africa and Europe. This process continues today with a mid-ocean ridge running down the middle of the ocean, ...
