ANSWER:

Mid-Atlantic Ridge or MAR is the mid-ocean ridge which extends the 'entire length' of the 'Atlantic Ocean'.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • This ridge is a 'divergent tectonic plate' and part of 'the longest mountain range' of the world.
  • The ridge separates the North American plates and Eurasian in North Atlantic and in the 'South Atlantic', it separates the 'South American and African plates'.
  • The ridge sits atop of 'Mid Atlantic Rise' which is a geological feature which runs the 'length of the Atlantic Ocean'.
