Recent research from Curtin University has unveiled that the Ninetyeast Ridge — the Earth’s longest straight underwater mountain chain — was formed by a process that challenges previous assumptions. Spanning an impressive 5000 km along the Indian Ocean’s 90-degree east longitude, it nearly rivals the length of North America’s Rocky Mountains and provides vital insights into the dynamics of tectonic plate movement.
