you are running a sonar survey to map the bathymetry of an ocean basin. using the following continuous sonar data (that give the depth of the seafloor in meters from left-to-right), what feature have you just discovered?

Respuesta :

In this case during analysis of the depth of the seafloor we have discovered a mid-ocean ridge.

What do you mean by Mid-ocean ridge?

A mid-ocean ridge can be defined as a seafloor mountain system which is formed by plate tectonics. It consists of a depth of around  2,600 metres  and rises about 2,000 metres  above the deepest portion of an ocean basin. In this ridge seafloor spreading takes place along with a divergent plate boundary. These are the longest, largest and most voluminous part of Earth. Mid oceanic ridge can be analysed by three major mapping systems: multi-narrow beam sonar, ANGUS photography, and manned submersibles.

Examples include Carlsberg Ridge, Pacific-Antarctic Ridge, and  East Pacific Rise.
