What is the floor of the ocean called?
yes, the ocean does have a floor at the very bottom and there are many different ocean floor features there such as mid-ocean ridges, rift zones and also ocean trenches. hope this helps
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.
What best describes the ocean floor?
It is varied and includes features such as submarine canyons, atolls, and mid-ocean ridges.
What geographical features provide evidence for plate tectonics?
Mountains, Valleys, Sea Floor Spreading, Trenches in the Ocean!
What geologic features would you expect to find on the ocean floor near the volcano and earthquake areas on your map?
oceanic trenches
What are valleys between the ridges on the ocean floor?
They are called oceanic trenches.
How do ocean ridges and deep-sea trenches support the theory of sea floor spreading?
Sea Floor spreading has to do with the crust forming at ocean ridges and being destroyed at deep sea trenches.

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.

What theory explains the processes that shape the Earths surface into mountains deep sea trenches and oceanic ridges?
the theory of sea floor spreading or continental drift

Why is the ocean floor lower as you move away from the mid-ocan ridges?
The mid-ocean ridges which wrap around the ocean floor like the seam of a baseball, are high topographic features-but as you go away from either side of a ridge, the ocean floor subsides as it cools.
What geographical features provide evidence for plate tectonics?
Mountains, Valleys, Sea Floor Spreading, Trenches in the Ocean!
How are ocean-floor rocks and sediments evidence of seafloor spreading?
because that there are younger rocks found at ocean ridges than the ones found near deep-sea trenches
