[edit] Not a Plate Boundary??

If the Gakkel Ridge isn't the plate boundary between the NA and EA Plates, what then is it the plate boundary of? That other ridge is certainly not a plate of its own. Tmangray (talk) 19:11, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Howdy - I can't find anything to document that the Lomonosov Ridge, oceanic crust of the Polar, Fletcher, and Canada Abyssal Plains, and Alpha Cordillera are NOT moving with the North America Plate - so, no further argument from me. Cheers Geologyguy (talk) 19:40, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, then, I must apologize for quickly changing without verifying. Cheers Geologyguy (talk) 19:54, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
