Subdeacon Joe Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 26 minutes ago, Bailey Creek,5759 said: Beginning of a new Grand Canyon? Different mechanisms. Grand Canyon was formed by uplift and erosion, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is new material being brought to surface: "Mid-ocean ridges occur along divergent plate boundaries, where new ocean floor is created as the Earth’s tectonic plates spread apart. As the plates separate, molten rock rises to the seafloor, producing enormous volcanic eruptions of basalt. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
