Another name for divergent boundaries that occur under the ocean is?
Sea floor spreading
How do you use sea-floor spreading in a sentence?
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.
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 type of boundary occurs in the new ocean floor?
New ocean floor is created at mic-ocean ridges which are divergent plate boundaries.
What is the process in which new sea floor forms as other older sea floor is pulled apart?
Seafloor Spreading created by harry hess
Are convergent boundaries and sea-floor spreading related in any way?
No, but divergent boundaries are the spreading of the sea floor and convergent boundaries are tectonic plates push together
What boundaries create the sea floor?
transform boundary
Where is sea floor crust created?
It was created on the sea floor.
Which of the above boundaries is sea floor destroyed?
At a Convergent Boundary.
At which of the above boundaries is sea floor destroyed?
transform boundary
What is created at the bottom of the ocean because of sea floor speading?
Mid-oceanic ridges are created where sea floor spreading takes place. These are called divergent boundaries and mark places where new sea floor is being created. They are tectonically active regions and can be characterized by undersea vents where magma comes up and cools quickly because of its contact with very cold water.
What plate is sea floor created?
the divergent plate boundary is the one that is sea floor created
Another name for divergent boundaries that occur under the ocean is?
Sea floor spreading
How do you use sea-floor spreading in a sentence?
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.
What would you call sea plates pulling away?
This would be called sea floor spreading, apparent at divergent boundaries.
What boundary type is sea floor spreading?
These ridges are spreading centers or divergent plate boundaries
Is the Atlantic Ocean the site of a spreading plate boundaries?
Yes it is. It is home to the Mid-Atlantic ridge, a divergent plate boundary, where new crust (sea floor) is created. by your mom
