What else can I help you with?
What happens at spreading plate boundaries?
tectonic plates move apart allowing magma to move to the surface.
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 occurs at plate boundaries that are associated with seafloor spreading?
At plate boundaries associated with seafloor spreading, two tectonic plates move away from each other, creating new oceanic crust between them. Magma rises to the surface, solidifies, and forms mid-ocean ridges. This process contributes to the widening of ocean basins and the continuous movement of Earth's lithosphere.
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
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.
What do spreading plate boundaries create?
They create new crust.
What boundary type is sea floor spreading?
These ridges are spreading centers or divergent plate boundaries
What do interactions at plate boundaries do?
an earthoquake occurs
What type of plate boundaries should the students study in order to understand seafloor spreading?
plate tectonics

What type of movement occurs at plate boundaries?
Convergent,Divergent, and Transform Boundaries
