mid-oÂ·cean ridge. A long mountain range on the ocean floor, extending almost continuously through the North and South Atlantic Oceans, the Indian Ocean, and the South Pacific Ocean. A deep rift valley is located at its center, from which magma flows and forms new oceanic crust. As the magma cools and hardens it becomes part of the mountain range.
Seth MacFarlane. Seth Woodbury MacFarlane (born October 26, 1973) is an American animator, writer, producer, actor, singer, voice actor, and director best known for creating the animated sitcoms Family Guy, American Dad! and The Cleveland Show, for which he also voices many of the shows' various characters.
I was wondering about this too and checked where is the writter Seth MacFarlane from. Apparently he is from Kent, US. Its the area where most Azorian (Portuguese islands) emigrants settled (New England, US). People from there are isolated, mostly fishermen and even today less wealthy than in continental Portugal.
