What phenomenon occurs as a result of seafloor spreading?
In 1960, seafloor spreading was hypothesized by Harry Hess of Princeton University. Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent boundaries and it is said to be the mechanism that operates along the oceanic ridge system to generate new seafloor. Thus, the result of seafloor spreading is the creation of new sea floor through the uplift of magma: magma raises from asthenosphere, new oceanic lithosphere moves from ridge, and it thickens, cools (becomes denser), and subsides.
Sea-floor spreading is a result of?
Seafloor spreading occurs when two tectonic plates move further away from each at mid-ocean ridges. In these ridges new crust is formed through volcanic activity and thus expanding the seafloor.
What is the difference between parthenogenesis and parthenocarpy?
Parthenogenesis is the process by which a gamete (usually female) develops to form an individual. As a result, the individual is haploid, eg.drones in bees. Parthenocarpy is the process by which a fruit develops without fertilisation. As fertilisation has not taken place, the fruit is seedless and does not contribute to sexual reproduction.
What is the end result of the evolutionary process?
diversity
The body mechanism in which the product or result of a process stops or limits the process?
Feedback inhibition
What is least likely to result from seafloor spreading?
bananas :~P
When solid mantle rock rises during seafloor spreading magma is produced as a result of decompression melting?
Yes.

Was the tsunami in Japan caused by the earthquake?
Yes. The earthquake result in vertical movement of the seafloor, which displaces massive volcumes of water, triggering the tsunami.

Is rust a process?
No, it is the result of a process scientifically known as oxidation.
The result of multiplication?
The result of the process of multiplication is referred to as a 'product'
Which is NOT the result of an Earth process?
meteorites
What process would result in increasing of a desert?
The process is called desertification.

When a mistake happens in the process of copying DNA, the result is called a Mutation.
