The mid-ocean ridge is the longest mountain range in the world and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge portion of the range spans the north-south length of the Atlantic Ocean. It also stretches a staggering ...

Spanning the north-south length of the Atlantic Ocean for around 10,000 miles, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is the longest mountain range in the world yet it remains largely unexplored.

Between about 12,000 to 6,000 years ago, spreading at the Mid-Atlantic Ocean Ridge, which sits between the North American and Eurasian plates, may have increased by as much as 40%.

NOAA Ocean Exploration scientists came across a series of organized sublinear holes on the Mid-Atlantic ocean floor, ... (10,000 miles), the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) ...

At over 8,000 feet beneath the Atlantic Ocean, scientists spotted an unusual line of almost perfectly-spaced holes. The little pits, near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, have baffled researchers.

Scientists have stumbled upon a series of seemingly human-made organised holes on the Atlantic Ocean floor whose origins remain a mystery.. The “perfectly aligned” holes were discovered on 23 ...
