1: Who is NOAA? NOAA is an agency that is based on life through science. Their studies from the surface of the sun to the depths of the sea floors
2: What is the mid-ocean ridge system? What happens there? The mid-ocean ridges form a single global mid-oceanic ridge system making the mid-oceanic ridge system the longest mountain range in the world. The mountain range is around 60.000 mi
3: How long/wide the is mid-ocean ridge system? Where is it located?
4: What type of plate boundary forms a mid-ocean ridge system? Explain.
5: Explain how ridges form:
6: What forms most of the ocean crust?
7: How does hot lava respond to cold sea water? (Pillow Basalt)
8: What is happening at the Juan de Fuca Ridge?
9: What does the rate of spreading dictate? 10: How hot can sea water be heated to at the mid-oceanic ridges?
11: Explain how HYDROTHERMAL Vents are formed:
12: Why is the hot mineral water so important? What do they support?
13: What is chemosynthesis? How does it differ from photosynthesis? Introduction to Mid-Ocean Ridges:
