What happens after magma erupts along mid ocean?
The magma spills over the ridge and pushes the old sea floor away toward a subduction zone where the old sea floor melts.
What is an ocean thermal vent?
It is a place where volcanism or hot water heated by the underlying magma erupts on the ocean floor.
What happens when magma pouring through a rift onto the ocean floor?
new land forms
What erupts through the valley of the mid ocean rig?
Magma erupts along mid ocean ridges forming new ocean floor. Mid ocean ridges are found at divergent boundaries where two ocean plates are pushing apart.
What happens to the ocean floor the farther the oceanic lithosphere is from a mid ocean ridge?
Magma rises and slidifies and creates a new crust.
What happens to the ocean floor the farther the the oceanic lithosphere is from a mid-ocean ridge?
Magma rises and slidifies and creates a new crust.
What happens to the ocean floor the farther the oceanic lithosphere is from a mid-ocean ridge?
Magma rises and slidifies and creates a new crust.

Magma rises and slidifies and creates a new crust.
What happens to the ocean floor farther to the oceanic lithosphere is from a mid ocean ridge?
Magma rises and slidifies and creates a new crust.
What is the theory that occurs when magma is pushed upward and flows through the openings in the ocean floor?
this usually happens when the sea floor spreads open.
Hardens to form new rock at mid-ocean ridges?
Sea- Floor Spreading molten material erupts through the valley that runs along the center of some mid-ocean ridges. This material hardens to form the rock of the ocean floor. Mid-ocean ridges an undersea mountain chain where new ocean floor is produced.
What happens to the magma after being pushed upward and exposed at the surface of the ocean floor?
The lava would form pillow basalts.
