The presence of a mid-ocean ridge doesn’t exaggerate biomass and biodiversity at all in the North Atlantic–not even close, in fact. This is the cool result from the ECOMAR project , a large multi-year ...

The mid ocean ridge systems are the largest geological features on the planet. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) is a mostly underwater mountain range in the Atlantic Ocean that runs from 87°N -about 333km ...

Deep beneath the surface of the Atlantic Ocean, scientists have uncovered an extraordinary undersea world that may hold the key to understanding how life began on Earth. The discovery of the Lost City ...

A 20-Myr record of creation of oceanic lithosphere is exposed along a segment of the central Mid-Atlantic Ridge on an uplifted sliver of lithosphere. The degree of melting of the mantle that is ...

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 ...

By comparison, the temperature of crustal fluids can reach 400 degrees C at hydrothermal vents in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where tectonic plates are diverging and new oceanic crust is being formed ...

Typical ocean ridges, like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the East Pacific Rise, have regularly spaced volcanoes that create a nearly continuous layer of crust on the seafloor.
