    The mid-Atlantic ocean ridge, however, is MUCH longer.

  3. *The Andes is the world's longest mountain range.

    *The Himalaya contains the world's highest mountains.

    *The Arctic Cordillera is the world's northernmost mountain system and contains the highest point in eastern North America.

    *The Ural Mountains  are a mountain range that runs roughly north and south through western Russia. They are usually considered as the natural boundary between Europe and Asia.

    *The Rocky Mountains , often called the Rockies, are a broad mountain range in western North America.

    *The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) is a mid-ocean ridge, a divergent tectonic plate boundary located along the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. It separates the Eurasian Plate and North American Plate in the North Atlantic, and the African Plate from the South American Plate in the South Atlantic.

  4. The answer is a.  the mid-Atlantic ocean ridge.

    The longest mountain range on land is b.  The Andes mountains.

    The Mid-Ocean Ridge system, shown above snaking its way between the continents, is more than 56,000 kilometers (35,000 mi) long. This series of mountains and valleys marks where the Earth’s crustal plates are moving apart. This is where most hydrothermal vents are located. The Extreme 2003 dive site is in a vent field at 9°50' N latitude and 104°17' W longitude.

    The Andes are the longest mountain range (on land) in the world, stretching 7,250 kilometers (4,200 miles) down the southern half of the world.  The Andes run north to the warm equator, and stretch south towards Cape Horn and Patagonia, a windy, cold, semi-desert where the winter temperatures stay below freezing.  The southern tip of the Andes is not far from Antartica, home of the south pole!
