What do spreading boundaries do?

They create new crust.


What boundary type is sea floor spreading?

These ridges are spreading centers or divergent plate boundaries


Evidence of plate movement occurs at plate?

tectonic boundaries where plates interact, such as divergent boundaries where plates move apart, convergent boundaries where plates collide, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other. These interactions create earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain ranges, and oceanic trenches, providing evidence for plate movement. Seafloor spreading and paleomagnetism also support the theory of plate tectonics.


Divergent plate boundaries can create what two things?

they create trenches underwater, valleies and other things like the Great Rift Valley of the Marianis Thrench

What happens at the plate boundaries where spreading occurs?

the earth drifts away. This is science.


What forms at diverging plate boundaries?

At diverging plate boundaries, new oceanic crust forms through seafloor spreading. Magma rises to the surface and solidifies, creating mid-ocean ridges. As the plates move apart, they create new oceanic crust, which can lead to the formation of rift valleys.
