The Azores is an oceanic archipelago in the mid North Atlantic Ocean, between the continental Europe and North America. The seafloor is mostly deep but over 100 seamounts, a fraction of the Mid ...

What's at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, and how do we know? How deep does the ocean go? We'll answer these questions and more in this deep dive into the world's oceans. Come on in: The water's ...

located on the Gakkel Ridge in the Arctic Ocean. This underwater ridge spreads incredibly slowly compared to other mid-ocean ridges, making it a unique site for exploration. Researchers returned to ...

Hydrothermal vents are like hot springs on the ocean floor. They form along mid-ocean ridges where tectonic plates move apart ...

J. T. WILSON 1 has recently speculated on the presence of a median ridge extending through the Labrador Sea and up Baffin Bay. He suggested that its presence had not been noted because of ...
