The ocean floor is spreading due to .?
divergent plate movement
The ocean floor is spreading due to what?
divergent plate movement
What are magnetic strips on the floor caused by?
Movement of the ocean crust
What are magnetic strips on the sea floor caused by?
Movement of the ocean crust
What is the movement of ocean floor on either side of a mid ocean ridge best known as?
The movement of ocean floor on either side of a mid-ocean ridge is known as seafloor spreading. As new oceanic crust is formed at the ridge, it pushes the existing crust away from the ridge in opposite directions, creating a continuous process of plate tectonics.
Does lithosphere also includes ocean floors?
No, the lithosphere doesn't include the ocean floor because it is a layer of the atmosphere. (outer space)
What is the definition for earth's crust?
the outer layer of earth ; includes continents,oceans and ocean floor
What causes tsunami and earthquakes in Japan?
Earthquakes in Japan are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. A tsunami is a large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor which can be triggered by earthquakes.
When magma rises up through the sea floor rifts and cools to form ocean floor?
When magma rises through sea floor rifts, it cools and solidifies into new oceanic crust as part of the process known as seafloor spreading. This creates new crust at the boundaries of tectonic plates, contributing to the continual movement and renewal of the Earth's outer shell.
Direction in which the ocean floor moves?
The ocean floor moves in a horizontal direction due to tectonic plate movements. This movement can be divergent (moving apart), convergent (moving towards each other), or transform (moving past each other). This movement is driven by underlying mantle convection currents.
