  • Ocean Ridges: Location and Formation Explained
    Ocean ridges are generally located along the mid-oceanic ridges, which are underwater mountain ranges that extend for thousands of kilometers across the ocean floor. These ridges are found:

    * In all the major oceans: Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic, and Southern Oceans.

    * Near the center of the ocean basins: They are essentially the "seams" where tectonic plates are pulling apart.

    Think of them like giant underwater seams where new ocean floor is being created!
