What are the 4 steps of seafloor spreading?
I'm not that sure since I am doing a science assignment on seafloor spreading but, I think I've got a pretty good grasp on 5 stepsMagma pushes up through the Earth's mantle and breaks through the crust.Magma flows outward in the ocean in all directions and hardens to form new ocean floor by the ridge.New ocean floor pushes the old floor away from the mid-ocean ridgeThe old floor then pushes the continents away from the ridgeLastly, the old ocean floor is forced under the continental plate, and melts back into magma.I'm not that sure but, I think I've got a pretty good grasp on 5 stepsMagma pushes up through the Earth's mantle and breaks through the crust.Magma flows outward in the ocean in all directions and hardens to form new ocean floor by the ridge.New ocean floor pushes the old floor away from the mid-ocean ridgeThe old floor then pushes the continents away from the ridgeLastly, the old ocean floor is forced under the continental plate, and melts back into magma.
