What types of volcanoes are formed at spreading centers?
Volcanoes at spreading centers is referred to as spreading center volcanism. This usually takes place on mid-oceanic ridges where the plates diverge.
Divergent Boundaries are also called?
Spreading centers.
What do volcanic belts form along on?
Both subduction zones and spreading centers.
What magma is the most abundant type erupted at oceanic spreading centers?
Basaltic magma.
Is the analysis of seafoor sediments evidence of sea-floor spreading?
Not really but sea floor sediments thickness increase with increased distance from spreading centers which is good evidence. Other evidence such as magnetic reversals, temperature, dating methods provide the best evidence of seafloor spreading
