Is Mid-Atlantic Ridge a normal fault?
Is Mid-Atlantic Ridge a normal fault? 2 Study Area: The Northern Mid‐Atlantic Ridge (12°N–36°N) The MAR is a slow spreading mid‐ocean ridge (2.5 cm/yr full rate) characterized by a ∼10–20 km wide axial valley bordered by normal faults and segmented by transform and nontransform offsets [e.g., Searle and Laughton, 1977; Spencer et al., 1997].

What are the difference between the three types of stress compression tension and shear?
What are the difference between the three types of stress compression tension and shear? Compression is the most common stress at convergent plate boundaries. Rocks that are pulled apart are under tension. Tension is the major type of stress at divergent plate boundaries. When forces are parallel but moving in opposite directions, the stress is […]

Why do waves not transfer matter?
Why do waves not transfer matter? A wave transports its energy without transporting matter. Waves are seen to move through an ocean or lake; yet the water always returns to its rest position. Energy is transported through the medium, yet the water molecules are not transported. Do waves transfer mass? Waves transfer energy but not […]
