It is a center at the bottom of the ocean that occurs at mid-ocean ridges
What else can I help you with?
Divergent Boundaries are also called?
Spreading centers.
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.
Ocean ridges generally are located where?
At spreading centers.
What boundary type is sea floor spreading?
These ridges are spreading centers or divergent plate boundaries
Where are most seafloor spreading centers located?
It is the mid-ocean ridges.
What type of boundary occurs mostly at the mid ocean ridge?
spreading centers
What type of boundary occurs mostly at the mid-ocean ridge?
spreading centers
What do volcanic belts form along on?
Both subduction zones and spreading centers.
What type of boundary is sea flooring?
These ridges are spreading centers or divergent plate boundaries
What magma is the most abundant type erupted oceanic spreading centers?
Basaltic/mafic lava.
Where is the greatest sediment thickness on the ocean floor?
Near the trenches, or in the seafloor furthest away from spreading centers.
What are the spreading centers?
Spreading centers are geological formations where tectonic plates are moving away from each other, resulting in the upwelling of magma from the mantle and the formation of new oceanic crust. This process is known as seafloor spreading and occurs mainly along mid-ocean ridges, creating new oceanic crust and contributing to the Earth's tectonic activity.
