1. Mid-Atlantic Ridge

   The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a mid-ocean ridge (a divergent or constructive plate boundary) located along the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, and part of the longest mountain range in the world. In the North Atlantic, the ridge separates the North American from the Eurasian Plate and the African Plate, north and south of the Azores Triple Junction respectively. In the South Atlantic, it separates the African and South American plates. The ridge extends from a junction with the Gakkel Ridge (Mid-Arctic Ridge) northeast of Greenland southward to the Bouvet Triple Junction in the South Atlantic. Although the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is mostly an underwater feature, portions of it have enough elevation to extend above sea level, for example in Iceland. The ridge has an average spreading rate of about 2.5 centimetres (1 in) per year.

1. mid-atlantic ridge

   The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a large underwater mountain range that extends down the center of the Atlantic Ocean. It is the longest mountain range in the world, spanning about 16,000 kilometers. This ridge is formed by plate tectonics and is characterized by its central valley, or rift, which is the point at which the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are moving apart. The ridge's movement results in regular volcanic activity and the continual expansion of the Atlantic seabed.
