What happens when divergent boundaries occur in the middle of an ocean?
A ridge with transverse faults is formed, where new oceanic crust (seafloor) is formed.

What seafloor is the process by which new crust is created when seafloor moves apart and magma rises?
Seafloor Spreading
What is seafloor plains?

What evntually happens to seafloor that is carried away from a mid-ocean ridge?
Seafloor continues to move away from the mid-ocean ridge and eventually comes into contact with another plate boundary. Ocean plates subduct underneath continental plates and are forced down into the lithosphere
What happens to old seafloor rock down in the trenches?
Old seafloor rock is subducted into the Earth's mantle at deep-sea trenches, where it is melted and recycled. This process is part of the tectonic plate cycle, where old seafloor is continuously being consumed and regenerated.
How does the process of seafloor spreading occur with two tectonic plates moving away from each other?
Seafloor spreading happens when two tectonic plates move apart. Magma rises up from the mantle through the gap, creating new oceanic crust. As the plates continue to move apart, the new crust pushes the older crust away, causing the seafloor to spread.
What did the magnetic strips prove in seafloor spreading?
They proved that the seafloor was spreading.
