	Mid-ocean ridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The mid-ocean ridges of the world are connected and form a single global mid-oceanic ridge system that is part of every ocean, making the mid-oceanic ridge system the longest mountain range in the world, whose total length is ~60,000 km.
		Mid-ocean ridges are geologically active, with new magma constantly emerging onto the ocean floor and into the crust at and near rifts along the ridge axes.
		Because a mid-ocean ridge is submerged at very deep depths in the ocean, its existence was not even known until the 1950s, when it was discovered through surveys of the ocean floor conducted by research ships.

	Vents Program: Explorer Ridge
		Explorer Ridge lies at the northern end of a chain of 3 spreading centers located off the west coast of North America.
		Explorer Ridge consists of one major segment, Southern Explorer Ridge, and several smaller segments.
		Before 2002 Explorer Ridge was the least explored of the NE Pacific spreading centers, even though it was known to have robust hydrothermal activity and is seismically active.

	NOAA Ocean Explorer: Submarine Ring of Fire
		Explorer Ridge and the Mariana Volcanic Arc are shown, as well as the East Pacific Rise.
		The Mid-Ocean Ridge is the beginning of a giant conveyor belt, whereby new ocean floor created at mid-ocean ridges are welded to giant moving plates that are ultimately recycled at island arcs and deep-ocean trenches.
		The first ROPOS dive at Explorer Ridge resulted in the discovery of an active hydrothermal chimney, but due to weather conditions, no further investigations could be made.

	Oceanography 2
		The ridge leading south from Iceland is named the Reykjanes Ridge, and, although it spreads at 20 mm/yr or less, it lacks a rift valley.
		These are ridges and valleys on the order of tens of kilometres wide that cut across the crests of the ridges at approximately right angles and offset their trend (Figure 9).
		The Ninetyeast Ridge stretches parallel to 90 E longitude in a long, linear chain of seamounts and volcanic ridges from the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal more than 4,500 kilometres to the south where it intersects Broken Ridge at 30 S latitude.

		The westerly side is a convergent boundary subducting under the Eurasian Plate to the north and the Philippine Plate in the middle forming the Mariana Trench.

		Explorer Ridge is a spreading center where two tectonic plates are spreading apart and submarine volcanoes erupt.
		Volcanic ridges lying as close as 60 nautical miles of the northwest U.S. and Canada are part of the world-girdling Mid-Ocean Ridge system, a 60,000 km long series of seafloor spreading centers where new earth is born.
		The Mid-Ocean Ridge is the beginning of a giant conveyor belt where new ocean floor is welded to giant moving plates that are ultimately recycled at volcanic island arcs and deep-ocean trenches.

		This suggests the southern Explorer Ridge and western SFZ may not have been completely abandoned (and transferred to the Pacific Plate) by a proposed transform fault through the center of the Explorer Plate.
		The ridge axis and both flanks were seismically active throughout the experiment and 1750 earthquakes were located with a minimum of five travel time picks including at least one S wave.
		On the western flank, the hypocenters for four swarms are compatible with steeply dipping fault planes that strike at 035-050º N and are oblique to the trend of the abyssal hills.

	Weekend Explorer: Marengo Ridge – Winter 2002
		Running north and south through western McHenry County to Kane County, Marengo Ridge — a glacial moraine left by the last Ice Age — is three miles wide from east to west, and 200 feet thick.
		Marengo Ridge, close to 400 acres in all, encompasses a pine plantation called Kunde Woods, originally owned by Dr. Emerson Kunde, who planted 15 species of conifers in 1955.
		Marengo Ridge is now a gloriously wooded and hilly area that is so tucked away and diverse you hardly know you're close to civilization.

		Note Explorer Ridge, the Marianas Volcanic Arc, and the East Pacific Rise.
		Explorer Ridge is found northwest of the Juan de Fuca Ridge and offset by the Sovanco Fracture Zone.
		The relatively shallow depth of the Southern Explorer Ridge (up to 1800 m) in comparison with most other segments of the northeast Pacific spreading centers suggests that there has been considerable volcanic activity along this segment in the past 100,000 years.

	The DeSoto Explorer: Arbor Ridge rezoning approved

	Ocean 540: Hydrothermal Fluxes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		We have seen that at the scale of a lithospheric plate that conductive heat transfer explains the pattern of conductive heat flow and topography with the exception of an anomaly closer to the ridge axis suggesting an important contribution by convection.
		Thus the heat flux from a single fl smoker or warm spring is sufficient to remove the required heat from a significant portion of the mid-ocean ridge and individual vents should be relatively sparsely distributed.
		The Endeavour Segment is the northernmost portion of the Juan de Fuca Ridge.

		Young volcanoes, lava flows, and hot springs were discovered in a broad valley less than 8 kilometers wide along the crest of the ridge in the 1970's.
		The Explorer Plate separated from the Juan de Fuca approximately 4 million years ago and is apparently no longer being subducted (Hyndman, et.al., 1979); the Gorda split away between 18 and 5 million years ago (Riddihough, 1984).
		Following the discovery of hydrothermal venting north of the caldera in 1983, a concentrated mapping and sampling effort was made in the mid-late 1980s.

		They commonly offset the active spreading ridges, producing zig-zag plate margins, and are generally defined by shallow earthquakes.
		Land on the west side of the fault zone (on the Pacific Plate) is moving in a northwesterly direction relative to the land on the east side of the fault zone (on the North American Plate).
		Oceanic fracture zones are ocean-floor valleys that horizontally offset spreading ridges; some of these zones are hundreds to thousands of kilometers long and as much as 8 km deep.

		The Explorer Ridge expedition was a complex multi-institutional effort that was focused on exploring a poorly known, but intensely hydrothermally active, portion of the northeast Pacific spreading-center system.
		Southern Explorer Ridge (SER) is a medium-rate spreading center that is known to host a large hydrothermal vent complex known as "Magic Mountain".
		The change in morphology of the GR crest from a wide rifted graben at 86W to a more domal and shallow ridge at 89.5W may be related to the interaction of the spreading axis with the Galapagos plume, and the greater availability of melt and enhanced isothermal structure of the lithosphere near the hotspot.

	Exploring the Submarine Ring of Fire
		An interdisciplinary team of scientists explored the submarine volcanoes of the Mariana Arc lying north of Guam in the western Pacific from February 9 to March 5, 2003.
		It is here that most of the ocean crust, born along the mid-ocean ridges millions of years ago in the eastern Pacific (see Explorer Ridge expeditions), is “recycled” back into the earth’s mantle as the ocean floor descends into the Mariana trench.
		In June to August 2002, a team made up of U. and Canadian geologists, chemists, and biologists conducted two expeditions to the Explorer Ridge, a section of the world-girdling Mid-Ocean Ridge, to investigate the birth of new ocean crust off the coast of western North America, part of the Pacific "Ring of Fire".
