Does sea floor spreading occur at a convergent boundary?
No. Seafloor spreading occurs at a divergent boundary.
What boundary creates seafloor spreading?
Divergent boundaries.
What kind of plate boundary separates the arctic plate and the Pacific Plate?
Divergent Plate Boundary. (Seafloor Spreading).
Where is the place where seafloor spreading occur?
Mid-oceanic ridges
At a divergent boundary land is gained or lost?
At a divergent boundary, land is gained. Ocean ridges are prominent at divergent plate boundaries. Ocean ridges are areas of seafloor spreading. Seafloor spreading occurs as upwelling magma rises to the surface. This upwelling magma hardens and forms new seafloor.
What occurs at plate boundaries that are associated with seafloor spreading?
When seafloor spreading happens, a rift forms at the bottom of a ocean and separates to form new rock. This is an example of a divergent plate boundary
3 types of plat boundaries that occur?
The 3 types of plate boundaries that occur is the spreading boundary, fracture boundary, and the colliding boundary.
What kind of boundary can sea floor spreading occur?
subducting
What did the magnetic strips prove in seafloor spreading?
They proved that the seafloor was spreading.
How to Diagram the process of seafloor spreading?
A diagram that shows how seafloor spreading works.
Seafloor spreading begins when?
Seafloor spreading is triggered by a rift in a continental land mass.
Which force is responsible for seafloor spreading?
Gravity in the oceanic crust is responsible for seafloor spreading.
