Mid-ocean ridges around the globe are linked by plate tectonic boundaries and the trace of the ridges across the ocean floor appears similar to the seam of a baseball Computer-generated detailed topographic map of a segment of the Mid-Oceanic Ridge

The alternating patterns of magnetic anomalies found on either side of the ridge provide evidence of periodic magnetic field reversals and help date the age of the. In fact, accurate maps along the mid-ocean ridge did not exist until the last ten years, and even now much of it remains. The mid-ocean ridge wraps around the globe for more than 65,000 km like the seam of a baseball, with an average depth to the ridge crest of 2500 m.

. Computer-generated detailed topographic map of a segment of the Mid-Oceanic Ridge This activity consists of naming the continents, identifying mid-ocean ridges, and determining the age of the ocean floor

. The final map will allow you to explore all of the maps. This map shows the overall configuration of the ridges and their names
