Mid-Atlantic Ridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Near the equator, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is dissected into the North Atlantic Ridge and the South Atlantic Ridge by the Romanche Trench, a narrow submarine trench with a maximum depth of 7758 m, one of the deepest locations of the Atlantic Ocean. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge forms part of the global mid-oceanic ridge system and, like all mid-oceanic ridges, is thought to result from a divergent boundary that separates tectonic plates: the North American Plate from the Eurasian Plate in the North Atlantic, and the South American Plate from the African Plate in the South Atlantic. The ridge was central in the breakup of Pangaea en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Mid-Atlantic_Ridge   (607 words)

Atlantic Ocean - History The Atlantic Ocean is essentially an S-shaped north-south channel, extending from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Antarctic continent in the south and situated between the eastern coast of the American continents and the western coasts of Europe and Africa. The South Atlantic is arbitrarily separated from the Indian Ocean on the east by the 20° east meridian and from the Pacific on the west along the line of shallowest depth between Cape Horn and the Antarctic Peninsula. In the eastern Atlantic, the Madeiras, Canaries, Cape Verde, and the São Tomé-Príncipe group are the peaks of submarine ridges. www.cartage.org.lb /en/themes/GeogHist/histories/history/hiscountries/A/atlanticocean.html   (1285 words)

PBS - The Voyage of the Odyssey - Track the Voyage - ATLANTIC OCEAN The Mid-Ocean Ridge is an underwater series of mountain ranges that snakes a remarkable 40,000 miles (64,000 kilometers) around the globe, from the Arctic, through the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean and across the Pacific Ocean. The second largest ocean, the Atlantic, stretches Pole to Pole and is dissected almost down the centre (north to south) by the jagged spine of the mid-Atlantic ridge. Geological similarities on either side of the Atlantic, not to mention fossilized remains of plants and animals, supported and reinforced the notion that the sea floor was spreading. www.pbs.org /odyssey/odyssey/20050530_log_transcript.html   (1069 words)

Mid-Atlantic Ridge Mid-ocean ridge that runs along the centre of the Atlantic Ocean, parallel to its edges, for some 14,000 km/8,800 mi – almost from the Arctic to the Antarctic. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge runs down the centre of the ocean because the ocean crust has continually grown outwards from the ridge at a steady rate during the past 200 million years. Thingvellir marks the position of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a constructive plate boundary where new material is formed by the cooling of lava. www.tiscali.co.uk /reference/encyclopaedia/hutchinson/m0007751.html   (530 words)

Plate Tectonics Mid Atlantic Ridge What began as a small crack in the Earth's crust is now the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a giant undersea mountain range. As the two land masses separated, the surrounding water rushed in to fill the gap between them, and the Atlantic Ocean was born.

Mid-Atlantic Ridge N on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is one of the largest sea floor deposits and has been intensively studied over the past few years.

It consists of three mounds aligned east-west and elongated in a direction parallel to the ridge axis. www.agu.org /revgeophys/humphr01/node5.html   (907 words)

Viewing the Morphology of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge From a New Perspective Based on this model, the hummocks and hummocky ridges that dominate the small-scale volcanic morphology of the AVR in the 29° N segment are formed by the focusing of fissure eruptions to several vents; the seamount is formed by the rapid evolution of an eruption to a single vent. The along-axis orientation of the ridge mimics neighboring faults and fissures, and it is inferred to have erupted from similar fissures. Hummocks and hummocky ridges are produced as the eruption becomes confined to several discrete vents, similar to subaerial spatter cones or spatter ramparts that form along fissures (Figure 4). www.agu.org /sci_soc/eosdksmith.html   (2756 words)

HiG - Marko Modiano, universitetslektor With Mid-Atlantic English, the controlled mixing of AmE and BrE can serve as a cross-cultural communication strategy, with users of English targeting language which is most likely to be comprehended by the interlocutor. A Mid-Atlantic Handbook: American and British English, Studentlitteratur, Lund, ISBN 91-44-61451-9, 1996, 150 pp. English as an international language is a wider program aimed at establishing educational platforms for the teaching of English as a global lingua franca. www.hig.se /hs/forsk/marko_modiano.html   (224 words)

Modiano Many Europeans mix features of these two varieties, and are speaking what can be described as Mid-Atlantic English (MAE) (see Modano 1996). The paradigm of MAE and of the 'centripetal circles of international English,' both of which are attempts to position the English language as a lingua franca and not as the possession of peoples who speak 'prestigious' varieties, requires a rethinking of the manner in which language instruction is conducted. Clearly, the choice of educational standards for English in the EU, the development of cross cultural communicative strategies in ELT activities, as well as the notion of MAE, are all interrelated. www.kl.unibe.ch /kl/llbs1/Englisch/modiano.htm   (2950 words)

English language - Psychology Central English is also the most widely used language for young backpackers who travel across continents, regardless of whether it is their mother tongue or a secondary language. English is the most widely learned and used foreign language in the world, and as such, some linguists believe that it is no longer the exclusive cultural emblem of 'native English speakers', but rather a language that is absorbing aspects of cultures world-wide as it grows in use. English is also an important minority language of South Africa (South African English), and in several other former colonies and current dependent territories of the United Kingdom and the United States, for example Guam and Mauritius. psychcentral.com /psypsych/English_language   (4629 words)

Plant Invaders of Mid-Atlantic Natural Areas: English Ivy Plant Invaders of Mid-Atlantic Natural Areas: English Ivy English ivy has been confirmed as a reservoir for bacterial leaf scorch (Xylella fastidiosa), a harmful plant pathogen that affects a wide variety of native and ornamental trees such as elms, oaks and maples. English ivy infests woodlands, forest edges, fields, hedgerows, coastal areas, salt marsh edges and other upland areas, especially where some soil moisture is present. www.nps.gov /plants/alien/pubs/midatlantic/hehe.htm   (506 words)

Canadian English - Psychology Central British Columbia English has several words still in current use which are loanwords from the Chinook Jargon, which was widely spoken throughout the province by all ethnicities well into the middle of the 20th Century. For example, about will be raised from [əˈbaʊt], as it is in the American Atlantic dialect, to [əˈbʌʊt], a higher vowel, or nearly even [əˈboʊt] in some dialects. The English spoken in Toronto is closely related to the midwestern American accent, but without the Northern cities vowel shift. psychcentral.com /psypsych/Canadian_English   (4906 words)
