"I believe it's the mid-ocean ridge, at about 56 000 kilometers long."

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 islands are the highest summits of great submarine mountain ranges that
include the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the world's longest mountain range

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.

Dru nodded to the Ravenclaws answer, wishing that she had gotton there first.

Dainsie 05-27-2005 06:04 AM

No, there's an actual named point on the earth where it is by far the weakest...

Dru 05-27-2005 06:12 AM

Dru raised her hand "The Southern Magnetic Anomaly found off the coast of Brazil"

Potatohead 05-27-2005 06:14 AM

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! 05-28-2005 03:47 AM

The deepest point in the Mariana Trench and in the oceans is Challenger Deep which is three hundred and forty kilometers off the coast of Guam.

Ya huh!

14. Largest iceberg recorded?

Cristygen 05-28-2005 04:15 AM

Cristy raises her hand. "The largest iceberg ever recored was Iceberg B15, which calved from the Ross Ice Shelf".

Martha 05-28-2005 04:16 AM

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."
