Does Magma push towards the Earth's surface through cracks?
Magma can use cracks that are already there on it way to the surface. If there are no cracks present, the magma can create them.
What happens when a continental plate and a oceanic plate separate?
Magma fills the crack and hardens into new seafloor.
What forms when magma is released through long open cracks?
lava
Were does magma often move upward though in the crust?
Through cracks.
What is the term for the flow of magma through cracks in the earth's surface?
the flow of magma in eath's crust is called lava.
What happens to magma that rises though cracks on the seafloor?
It makes a volcano because as it rises it pushes up the sea floor and it rises.

When the seafloor spreads apart does hot saltwater move upward and flows from the cracks?
Who ever told you that the answer is yes, is steering you straight to hell! The answer is magma not saltwater!

What does magma have to do with seafloor spreading?
When seafloor spreading occurs, it pushes the underground magma up though the new crust, creating a sort of volcano out of the new crust. Magma is a very important part in seafloor spreading. :]
What seafloor is the process by which new crust is created when seafloor moves apart and magma rises?
Seafloor Spreading
How did harry hess hypothesis explain seafloor movement?
Harry hess' hypothesis was hot/less dense material rises up the Earth's crust toward the mid-ocean ridges. When the seafloor breaks apart, magma is forced upward and through the cracks. It cools, and becomes a new seafloor. When it moves away from the mid-ocean ridge, it becomes denser and sinks. This helps form ridges.
Seafloor is the process by which new crust is created when the seafloor moves apart and magma rises up?
seafloor spreading
What is the effect of magma pushing up through cracks in the ocean floor?
push and a pull
