3. Does your site have new ocean floor?

Answer 1

Based on research related to the Mid-Ocean Ridge:

1. Are there volcanoes?
   Yes
   There are numerous underwater volcanoes along the Mid-Ocean Ridge, formed by volcanic activity as tectonic plates diverge.

2. Are there earthquakes?
   Yes
   Earthquakes frequently occur along the Mid-Ocean Ridge due to tectonic plate movements and the stresses associated with the formation of new crust.

3. Does your site have new ocean floor?
   Yes
   New ocean floor is continuously formed at the Mid-Ocean Ridge as magma rises from the mantle, solidifies, and creates new crust.
