It is home to the TAG and Snake Pit hydrothermal fields, which are a source of ferromanganese nodules. It is interrupted by the Romanche Gap, which offsets it by about 400 miles. This feature was formed during the Triassic from the collision of three-armed grabens, and its aulacogens eventually became the river valleys of waterways such as the Mississippi. Just east of it at 30 degrees north latitude is the Lost City hydrothermal field, the chief feature of the Atlantis Massif. It is responsible for the existence of such islands as Ascension, St. Helena, Tristan da Cunha, and Iceland.
