Subduction and sea floor spreading are both a result of the movement of the tectonic plates.
Plate Tectonics
What else can I help you with?
What is the relation between rising and sinking material in the earths interior and subduction and rifting?
Rising material in Earth's interior typically leads to rifting, where tectonic plates move apart. This process creates new crust. Sinking material, on the other hand, is associated with subduction, where one tectonic plate slides beneath another, leading to the destruction of crust.
Is earths interior hot or cold?
The earths interior is cold
What effect do sea floor and subduction have on earths surface?
They both can change the size of Earths Surface
What do you think subduction means?
subduction is when a piece of the earths crust slides back into the mantle due to density differences
What plate boundaries make up the earths crust layer?
All of them. Divergent (spreading ridges), convergent (subduction zones), and transform (strike-slip). An example of each include the following: Divergent: Mid-Atlantic spreading ridge Convergent: Cascade Arc Transform: San Andreas Fault
When is earths Crust destroyed?
The Earth's crust is destroyed when subduction occurs.
What is the seismic wave that travel's through the earths interior?
A body wave is a seismic wave that travels through Earths interior.
Is the partially melted zone of earths that carries the crust the lithosphere?
No it is really subduction
How does subduction change the ocean floor?
Subductions causes the ocean floor to sink into deep-ocean trenches and the earths plates move apart from molten rock or magma ana the earths crusts rises a departs. Thank You, Professor Einstien
How does temperature of earths crust compare to the temperature of earths interior?
it depends on the deepth
Which force drives subduction?
An undersea mountain chain where new ocean floor is produced
What causes changes to earths land form?
what causes changes to earths landform
