What else can I help you with?
What is the other name for a spreading plate boundary?
Divergent boundaries is the other name for a spreading plate boundary.
Where does seafloor spreading happen?
along plate boundaries
What are the three types plate boundaries?
Three types of plate boundaries are spreading boundaries, colliding boundaries, and sliding boundaries. um actually they are divergent, convergent, and transform
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 are the three types of boundaries?
Three types of plate boundaries are spreading boundaries, colliding boundaries, and sliding boundaries. um actually they are divergent, convergent, and transform
What type of plate boundaries should the students study in order to understand seafloor spreading?
plate tectonics
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.
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
