What is the crack in the ocean floor through magma rises?
heat from a volcanoe
When magma rises up through the sea floor rifts and cools to form ocean floor?
yes
What are often created from magma pouring out of a volcano?
Mountain
What happens to the magma after being pushed upward and exposed at the surface of the ocean floor?
The lava would form pillow basalts.
What happens when hot magma reaches the top of the asthenosphere?
When magma reaches the top of the asthenosphere it can start to work its way through the lithosphere, potentially reaching the surface to erupt from volcanoes.
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.
What happens at constructive boundaries?
Creation of new crust through up swelling and out rising of magma to cover areas of sea floor spreading or lithospheric seperation.
What is the crack in the ocean floor through magma rises?
heat from a volcanoe
When magma rises up through the sea floor rifts and cools to form ocean floor?
yes
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 are often created from magma pouring out of a volcano?
Mountain
What is the effect of magma pushing up through cracks in the ocean floor?
push and a pull
What happens to magma after it erupts onto the ocean floor?
The magma spills over the ridge and pushes the old sea floor away toward a subduction zone where the old sea floor melts.
What happens at a ridge?
magma comes through the ocean surface and makes volcanoes
What happens to the magma after being pushed upward and exposed at the surface of the ocean floor?
The lava would form pillow basalts.
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.
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.
