Central Indian Ridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Central Indian Ridge (CIR) is a divergent tectonic plate boundary between the African Plate and the Indo-Australian Plate, traversing the western regions of the Indian Ocean. The northern section of the CIR is also called the Carlsberg Ridge.
The CIR extends northward from the Rodrigues Triple Junction to a triple junction in the Owen Fracture Zone.
