The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a place where plates move together.

This statement is incorrect because the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is actually a divergent boundary where tectonic plates are moving apart, not together. Therefore, this piece of information cannot be accurately extrapolated from the map of global geologic features.
