| The island is located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which means it is extremely geologically active. |
|
| The Oceanlab team discovered that the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a barrier to the movement of deep-sea fish between the east and west Atlantic Ocean. |
|
| One well-known, divergent boundary, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, is a submerged mountain range in the Atlantic Ocean that extends from the Arctic Ocean to beyond the southern tip of Africa. |
|
| Iceland sits precariously atop the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a vast undersea mountain range whose subsurface volcanoes account for much of the country's tumultuous terrain. |
|
| Australia is actually antipodal to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, straddling the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the Tropic of Cancer between the Canary Isles and the Sargasso Sea. |
|
| An obvious example is the almost semicircular boundary between North America and West Africa along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between the Azores and the Equator. |
|
| In the case of the Atlantic Ocean, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge acted as the primary waveguide. |
|
| At about the latitude of the Tropic of Cancer, the orientation of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge turns rapidly from northwestward to northward. |
|
| This gives birth to the Atlantic North Equatorial, which, as it crosses the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, jogs north only to bend south beyond the ridge. |
|
| The sulphurous outpourings of this little magma factory thrusting its head above the mid-Atlantic ridge make the rotten eggs thrown at many an English comic at the Glasgow Empire seem positively benign. |
|
| Molten rock is emerging from the Earth's mantle at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, providing new seabed, and as it solidifies, records the magnetic field. |
|
| On the other hand, seafloor spreading continued during the Cretaceous and Cenozoic in the North Atlantic where the Mid-Atlantic Ridge remains an active spreading centre today. |
|
| The physiography and geology of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge have been the subject of much scientific study, as has the geology of the Atlantic as a whole. |
|
| Located on the mid-Atlantic Ridge, Iceland is volcanically and geologically active on a large scale, and the landscape is characterized by a mix of volcanic rock and sandfields, mountains and glaciers. |
|
| The waves followed the mid-ocean ridge down the Indian Ocean to break on the ice walls of the Antarctic and also around South Africa, and along the Mid-Atlantic ridge to break on Rio de Janeiro. |
