  • Tectonic Plates at Mid-Ocean Ridges: A Comprehensive Guide
    The Mid-Ocean Ridge is a divergent plate boundary, meaning it is where two tectonic plates are moving apart from each other.

    It's important to note that the Mid-Ocean Ridge is a global system of underwater mountains, so there are many pairs of plates separated by it.

    Here are a few examples:

    * North American Plate and Eurasian Plate (in the North Atlantic)

    * South American Plate and African Plate (in the South Atlantic)

    * Pacific Plate and Nazca Plate (in the Eastern Pacific)

    So, to answer your question directly, you need to specify which section of the Mid-Ocean Ridge you are interested in.
