Definition of sea-floor spreading in a kids own words?
it's when tectonic plates split and magma comes up through the separation of the tectonic plates and build new crust
Where two of the earth plates split apart?
At the boundry of two tectonic plates, you get volcanoes, earthquake epicentres and ( if its under the ocean) tsunamis.
The lithosphere is broken up into sections called?
Tectonic plates
What is the difference between Continental plates and Tectonic plates?

What is composed of oceanic continental crust and upper mantle?
That would be the lithosphere which is split into tectonic plates.
