| | |  Astronomy Lesson of Records #2
Due to the outstanding success of the first Lesson of Records, we are going to have another one! The first was based on space and the universe, so this one is all about the earth.
The questions are formatted like "What is the biggest..." or "what is the smallest", and each will be a known World record. There are 20 questions, 10 points a question (though I do raise it if noone guesses) so this lesson will provide a MINIMUM of 200 points! The first to guess correctly gets the points, and there will be no arguing over answers, as they come from a very reliable source.
So yeah, get in and have some fun earning big points for your house! | |

Mid-Atlantic Ridge [explanation: it is a mostly underwater mountain range of the Atlantic Ocean that runs from 87°N (about 333 km South of the North Pole) to subantarctic Bouvet Island, where it turns into Atlantic-Indian-Ridge and continues further East through Crozet Plateau to the Southwest Indian Ridge, while in the West it is followed by Scotia Ridge.]

The Mid-Oceanic Ridge (in the Indian Ocean), along with other submarine ridges, encloses a series of deep-sea basins (abyssal plains). The greatest depth (25,344 ft/7,725 m) is in the Java Trench, S of Java, Indonesia.

Martha raises her hand and says, "The largest icebergs (also referred to as ice islands) originate from the vast ice shelves surrounding Antarctica. The largest-known iceberg was from this region. It was roughly the size of the state of Rhode Island. The tallest known iceberg in the North Atlantic was 550 feet high. Extending out of the water to almost the height of the Washington Monument, it is the tallest iceberg recorded to date."
