What occurs at plate boundaries that are associated with seafloor spreading?
When seafloor spreading happens, a rift forms at the bottom of a ocean and separates to form new rock. This is an example of a divergent plate boundary
How does subduction is opposite of spreading boundaries?
it is opposite because subdution sinks in the earth crust and back up and spreading boundaries spread appart.
What boundary creates seafloor spreading?
Divergent boundaries.
Divergent Boundaries are also called?
Spreading centers.
Another name for divergent boundaries that occur under the ocean is?
Sea floor spreading
What happens at the plate boundaries where spreading occurs?
the earth drifts away. This is science.
What happens at spreading boundaries?
When a spreading boundary develops on land, two slabs of Earths' crust slide apart. :D :ID (c:
What are spreading boundaries?
Spreading boundaries are places where two plates move apart.
What happens at spreading plate boundaries?
tectonic plates move apart allowing magma to move to the surface.
What occurs at plate boundaries that are associated with seafloor spreading?
When seafloor spreading happens, a rift forms at the bottom of a ocean and separates to form new rock. This is an example of a divergent plate boundary
Are convergent boundaries and sea-floor spreading related in any way?
No, but divergent boundaries are the spreading of the sea floor and convergent boundaries are tectonic plates push together
How are spreading boundaries related to volcanoes?
they are not
How does subduction is opposite of spreading boundaries?
it is opposite because subdution sinks in the earth crust and back up and spreading boundaries spread appart.
What forms in the rifts of spreading boundaries?
Magma
How do spreading boundaries plates move?
it moves
What do spreading boundaries do?
They create new crust.
What causes volcanoes to form at spreading boundaries?
Please make the question clearer. There are converging and diverging boundaries but not spreading boundaries. Plates move but don't spread. Please make the question clearer
