What is the process of the ocean floor sinking beneath a deep ocean trench and back into the mantle known as?
It is called subduction.
Why do scientists look to the ocean floor to research the mantle?
Why do scientists look to the ocean floor to research the mantle? Because magma from the mantle flows out of active volcanoes on the ocean floor. These underwater volcanoes have given scientists many clues about the composition of the mantle.
How is new rock added to the ocean floor?
usually from lava sinking to ocean floor and cooling.
Are oceanic rocks billion years old?
No. Oceanic crust is recycled into the mantle through a process called subduction and new ocean floor is formed at mid-ocean ridges. None of the ocean floor is more than about 180 million years old. Some rocks on the continents are billions of years old.
What is the process that continually adds new material to the ocean floor is called?
sea-floor spreading

As the ocean floor spreads other parts plunge into the mantle What is this process called?
subduction
IF the ocean floor spreads other parts plunge into mantle this process is called?
Subduction .
What is the process by which ocean floor sinks into the mantle?

As the ocean floor spreads other parts plunge into the mantle--this process is called?
The first process is called sea-floor spreading (rifting when it happens on land) and the second process is called subduction. Both processes are part of plate tectonics.

A long narrow and very deep canyon where the ocean floor bends toward the mantle is called what?
A long narrow and very deep canyon where the ocean floor bends down toward the mantle is called an ocean trench. This is caused by two plates pulling apart.
What process is shown occurring at C and what does it occur?
In a process taking tens of millions of years, part of the ocean floor sinks back into the mantle at deep ocean trenches.
