A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.
ChemistryThe amount of strain energy per unit volume required to stress a material from zero to the yield stress limit. The modulus of resilience is proportional to the area under the elastic portion of the stress strain diagram. Units are Pa or psi. The energy that can be absorbed per unit volume without creating a permanent distortion. The amount of strain energy per unit volume required to stress a material from zero to the yield stress limit.
