[edit] Inconsistancy

There is an inconsistancy betweeb this page and the one on mid-ocean ridges - that page says the movement is 10mm per year (each side?) and this page says the Atlantic is growing by 50-60mm year. Any one know the right figure?

[edit] Info missing

I would have been interessted in the depth (or average depth) of the ridge. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.49.124.107 (talk) 11:12, 22 September 2006

Other than on Iceland. (SEWilco 02:25, 23 September 2006 (UTC))
Found mention that "The ridge has a height of 2,500 meters below sea level, whereas its flank is about 5,000 meters deeper." (SEWilco 19:55, 20 November 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Date of opening of Mid-atlantic

I tried to find out the date at which North America, and South America, started to drift away from Europe/Africa, but conld not find it anywhere. I suggest that it is included in this entry. (I think that it is 110 MYA (million years ago). 80.229.250.120 23:24, 28 April 2007 (UTC) Steve Kirkby
