The Super Continent was broken apart, in part by sea-floor spreading.
Scientists discovered that sea-floor spreading continues to move the continents.
Sea-floor spreading can be measured using specialized equipment.
Sea-floor spreading occurs at divergent tectonic plate boundaries.
They proved that the seafloor was spreading.
A diagram that shows how seafloor spreading works.
Gravity in the oceanic crust is responsible for seafloor spreading.

Seafloor Spreading helped move the Continents to their current location.

Seafloor spreading is triggered by a rift in a continental land mass.

The ocean seafloor is a home to many descriptive sea creatures.
When seafloor spreading occurs, it pushes the underground magma up though the new crust, creating a sort of volcano out of the new crust. Magma is a very important part in seafloor spreading. :]
Seafloor spreading at midoceanic ridges.

its not happy
The typical rates of seafloor spreading is 5 centimeters per year. Seafloor spreading is a process that occurs at mid ocean ridges.
