What do pieces of oceanic crust do during sea floor spreading?
they move apart along a divergent plate boundary
What does divergent result in?
It results in sea floor spreading.
How do you use sea-floor spreading in a sentence?
The Super Continent was broken apart, in part by sea-floor spreading.Scientists discovered that sea-floor spreading continues to move the continents.Sea-floor spreading can be measured using specialized equipment.
What is called when sea-floor spreading occurs and pull away from each other under the sea?
It creates a mid ocean ridge, the two plates pulling apart is called a divergent boundary.
What type of boundary is along ocean ridges?
Constructive or divergent. The ridge formed is of basaltic rock type (though this is a generalisation), and is a source of volcanic activity. Iceland was formed as a result of the sea-floor spreading.
Does sea floor spreading occur at a convergent boundary?
No. Seafloor spreading occurs at a divergent boundary.
What forces sea floor spreading?
Sea floor spreading is caused by convection currents in the mantle to cause a divergent boundary underwater. When the divergent boundary spreads, it caues a mid-ocean ridge. This is sea-floor spreading. Hope I helped!
What boundary the tectonics theory sea floor spreading takes place?
divergent boundary
What does the presence of the sea floor spreading indicate?
a divergent plate boundary.
What boundary type is sea floor spreading?
These ridges are spreading centers or divergent plate boundaries
How does new oceanic crust from at a divergent plate boundary?
Sea-Floor Spreading is your answer.
At what boundary does sea-floor spreading occur?
Consider. In sea-floor spreading, the plates are spreading apart; in other words diverging. So sea-floor spreading occurs at a divergent boundary,
What is it called when tetonic plates seporate?
It is called a divergent boundary. Another term for it is sea-floor spreading.
What do pieces of oceanic crust do during sea floor spreading?
they move apart along a divergent plate boundary
What kind of boundary is sea floor spreading found?
spreading boundary
What does divergent result in?
It results in sea floor spreading.
Is the Atlantic Ocean the site of a spreading plate boundary?
Yes it is. It is home to the Mid-Atlantic ridge, a divergent plate boundary, where new crust (sea floor) is created. by your mom
