Tectonic processes explain the formation of parallel ridges in the Arctic Ocean basin

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that tectonic processes explain the formation of parallel ridges in the Arctic Ocean basin?

Yes. Geological evidence confirms that plate tectonics and seafloor spreading are responsible for creating the major submarine ridges and basins in the Arctic Ocean.
