What features on mars point to possibility of water?
I think that they found ice. Also, some of the geographic features suggest that there was once a river there.
A Rift zone Underwater volcano?
Yes, also known as seafloor spreading! A rift zone volcano is called a mid-ocean ridge. The seafloor splits & spreads apart at a mid-ocean ridge, with lava seeping out of this fissure. The lava forms new seafloor. The older seafloor moves away from the ridge. Therefore, our ocean floor is actually spreading, at a rate of about two inches per year in the Atlantic ocean, and about 13 in the Pacific.
Who proposed the theory of seafloor spreading based on maps of the ocean floor?
The Seafloor Spreading Theory was proposed by Harry Hess.
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.
Why was the theory of seafloor spreading rejected?
Because he wasn't able to prove it he said that if the ocean floor is moving, then the continents might be moving also
What is a prawn's natural habitat?
Prawns can be found near the seafloor of most coasts and estuaries. They may also be found in rivers and lakes.
What types of news is featured on the MSN website?
The MSN site on the web features prominent local and national news from the United States. In addition, pertinent weather, politics, entertainment, and sports news is also found there.
Which prominent image found on the Keith's Family Coat of Arms can also be found on Keith's beer bottles?
Stag Head
Where do goods come from the gulf of Mexico?
Natural resources such as oil and natural gas are found under the seafloor; natural fisheries are also found along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico.
What are the prominent features of the ocean floor?
The Atlantic Ocean seafloor has what appear to be "stretch marks" or creases branching out horizontally from the center of the ocean. The seafloor deepens (generally) from both sides up to 20,000 ft. until a central upward ridge is formed (Mid-Atlantic Ridge), running up the middle of the ocean between the western and eastern continents. In some places this ridge is only a few thousand feet deep. The Atlantic also has a few deep basins scattered throughout that are substantially deeper than the surrounding ocean. Some researchers report core samples taken of the seafloor crust show the age of the seafloor increasing as you travel away from the coastline, suggesting the seafloor has expanded outward from the central ridge over time.

Did seafloor spreading prove the theory of continental drift?
Seafloor spreading helped prove the theory of continental drift. Pangea theory also helped.
How did harry hess's hypothsis explain seafloor movement?
It explained seafloor movement because he researched that hot/less dense material rises to Earths crust, at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. At the hole the magma cools making new seafloor. He also found out that there were new rocks near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and old ones farther away. Hess also theorized that this seafloor has to filter somewhere- this somewhere is called the subduction zone. The subduction zone is an area where old seafloor sinks and the plates melt it forms into magma, building pressure within the Earth. When there is too much pressure the Earth lets out this energy in Arcs, Volcanic islands, etc.
What are the different types of seafloor sediments?
Undisturbed seafloor sediments will carry a history of what has transpired there, much like glacial ice or peat bogs. Some interesting and potentially valuable mineral deposits are also found on the seafloor, eg. manganese nodules, metals from black smokers, and of course, deep in the rock, oil.
Where to find TM earthquake in pokemon emerald?
It's in the Seafloor Cavern, but it can also be found with the ability Pickup (no doubt somewhat rare though). The Pickup method is Emerald only for Gen 3 games.
