Difference between Basalt and Mid-ocean ridge

Basalt vs. Mid-ocean ridge

Basalt is a common extrusive igneous (volcanic) rock formed from the rapid cooling of basaltic lava exposed at or very near the surface of a planet or moon. A mid-ocean ridge (MOR) is an underwater mountain system formed by plate tectonics.

Similarities between Basalt and Mid-ocean ridge

Basalt and Mid-ocean ridge have 17 things in common (in Unionpedia): Asthenosphere, Atlantic Ocean, Calcium carbonate, Crust (geology), Gabbro, Hydrothermal vent, Lava, Magma, Mantle (geology), Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Ocean, Oceanic crust, Peridotite, Plate tectonics, Seabed, Solidus (chemistry), Volcano.

Asthenosphere

The asthenosphere (from Greek ἀσθενής asthenḗs 'weak' + "sphere") is the highly viscous, mechanically weak and ductilely deforming region of the upper mantle of the Earth.

Crust (geology)

In geology, the crust is the outermost solid shell of a rocky planet, dwarf planet, or natural satellite.

Gabbro

Gabbro refers to a large group of dark, often phaneritic (coarse-grained), mafic intrusive igneous rocks chemically equivalent to basalt, being its coarse-grained analogue.

Hydrothermal vent

A hydrothermal vent is a fissure in a planet's surface from which geothermally heated water issues.

Lava

Lava is molten rock generated by geothermal energy and expelled through fractures in planetary crust or in an eruption, usually at temperatures from.

Magma

Magma (from Ancient Greek μάγμα (mágma) meaning "thick unguent") is a mixture of molten or semi-molten rock, volatiles and solids that is found beneath the surface of the Earth, and is expected to exist on other terrestrial planets and some natural satellites.

Mantle (geology)

The mantle is a layer inside a terrestrial planet and some other rocky planetary bodies.

Mid-Atlantic Ridge

The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) is a mid-ocean ridge, a divergent tectonic plate or constructive plate boundary located along the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, and part of the longest mountain range in the world.

Ocean

An ocean (the sea of classical antiquity) is a body of saline water that composes much of a planet's hydrosphere.

Oceanic crust

Oceanic crust is the uppermost layer of the oceanic portion of a tectonic plate.

Peridotite

Peridotite is a dense, coarse-grained igneous rock consisting mostly of the minerals olivine and pyroxene.

Plate tectonics

Plate tectonics (from the Late Latin tectonicus, from the τεκτονικός "pertaining to building") is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of seven large plates and the movements of a larger number of smaller plates of the Earth's lithosphere, since tectonic processes began on Earth between 3 and 3.5 billion years ago.

Seabed

The seabed (also known as the seafloor, sea floor, or ocean floor) is the bottom of the ocean.

Solidus (chemistry)

In chemistry, materials science, and physics, the solidus is the locus of temperatures (a curve on a phase diagram) below which a given substance is completely solid (crystallized).

Volcano

A volcano is a rupture in the crust of a planetary-mass object, such as Earth, that allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface.
