Are divergent plate boundaries associated with folded mountains and deep sea trenches?
No. Sea floor trenches are found at convergent boundaries. divergen boundaries form mid-ocean ridges.
How does sea floor spreading alter the shape of the ocean floor?
Hi. As the spreading allow lava out it will create undersea mountains and ridges.
What geographical features provide evidence for plate tectonics?
Mountains, Valleys, Sea Floor Spreading, Trenches in the Ocean!
Subduction occurs where the oceanic crust bends down toward the mantle at a(n)?
Seafloor spreading occurs along mid-ocean ridges. Mid-ocean ridges are large mountain ranges on the ocean floor. The shifting in the rock causes the seafloor to spread and allows magma to bubble and form more mountains on the ocean floor.
Which forms at mid-ocean ridges?
New oceanic crust is created along mid ocean ridges. These are areas of the earth where there is divergence or splitting of the ocean floor and basaltic magma oozes out from within the mantle to occupy the gaps and form new crusts.
What are the features of the ocean floor?
The ocean floor is irregular as to the land we can see. It has mountains and ridges and plains and valleys and volcanoes. It even has underwater earthquakes, and just about every other land feature you could name.
Identify five major features of the ocean floor?
Features found on the ocean basin floor consist of valleys and rifts. This underwater mountain system can be found in all oceans of the world.
How do volcanos form along ocean ridges?
Along rift valleys, lava pours out of cracks in the ocean floor, gradually building new mountains.
What are valleys between the ridges on the ocean floor?
They are called oceanic trenches.
What does the floor look like?
Mountains/ridges and underwater volcanoes
Do the ocean has mountains and valleys?
Yes the ocean floor has mountains and deep trenches.
What are some features that can be found on bth the coean floor and continents?
mountain,valleys, and plains i think
How are valleys and plains are alike?
Rift valleys are linear-shaped lowlands in between highlands or mountain ranges that were created by geologic rift or fault. Abyssal plains are underwater plains deep on the ocean floor between a mid-ocean ridge and the foot of a continental rise.
Are divergent plate boundaries associated with folded mountains and deep sea trenches?
No. Sea floor trenches are found at convergent boundaries. divergen boundaries form mid-ocean ridges.
How does sea floor spreading alter the shape of the ocean floor?
Hi. As the spreading allow lava out it will create undersea mountains and ridges.
What are the major landforms in the biome?
Mountains, Hills, Isthmus, Plains, Plateaus, Flatlands, Valleys, Peninsula, and Island.
How are rift valleys and abyssal plains alike?
Rift valleys are linear-shaped lowlands in between highlands or mountain ranges that were created by geologic rift or fault. Abyssal plains are underwater plains deep on the ocean floor between a mid-ocean ridge and the foot of a continental rise.
