The rise of the mantle asthenosphere and tectonic activity are linked to travertine and mid-ocean ridges, although their relationship has not been clarified. To investigate the connection between travertine and mid-ocean ridges, we gathered information on the geographic distribution of travertine from around the world, plotted it, and linearized it. Making a map of the locations of linearized travertine, mid-ocean ridges, and 2016-2020 (M>5) earthquakes (which may or may not constitute seismic belts) and assessing its global distribution. The sedimentary models of travertine and mid-ocean ridges, on the other hand, were drawn based on previous studies, comparing and analyzing the similarities and differences between the sedimentary models of travertine and mid-ocean ridges. The results indicate that: 1) travertine and mid-ocean ridges are both primarily distributed in the seismic belts, 2) their deposition is closely related to the mantle asthenosphere, and 3) travertine occurs on land but mid-ocean ridges are in the ocean, which is a significant difference. This study examines the relationship between travertine and mid-ocean ridges are related analogs regarding geographical location and sedimentary model and suggests that travertine, like mid-ocean ridges, may be a driving force for plate drift. Researchers may gain a better understanding of the otherwise difficult-to-study mid-ocean ridge system by analyzing similarities between travertine and mid-ocean ridges.
