What is the process called when the sea floor sinks into the mantle?
Subduction.
What is the process called In which the ocean floor sinks into the mantle called?
i think that its subduction ...
As the ocean floor spreads other parts plunge into the mantle What is this process called?
subduction
IF the ocean floor spreads other parts plunge into mantle this process is called?
Subduction .
As the ocean floor spreads other parts plunge into the mantle--this process is called?
The first process is called sea-floor spreading (rifting when it happens on land) and the second process is called subduction. Both processes are part of plate tectonics.
What is the process by which ocean floor sinks into the mantle?
subduction is the answer.
What is the geological process by which the ocean floor sinks into the mantle?
subduction
What is the process in which the ocean floor sinks into the mantle is called?
The process in which the ocean floor sinks into the mantle is called subduction. This occurs at convergent plate boundaries, where one tectonic plate slides beneath another. Subduction zones are associated with deep-sea trenches and volcanic activity.
What are the deepest part of the ocean floor?
The deepest parts of the ocean floor are caused by plate tectonic subduction and occur where the sea floor sinks back into the mantle in a subduction zone. These areas are called deep sea trenches and the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench in the Pacific is the deepest known point in Earth's oceans.
How is new rock added to the ocean floor?
New rock is added to the ocean floor through a process called seafloor spreading, where magma rises from the Earth's mantle at mid-ocean ridges, cools and solidifies to form new oceanic crust. This process helps expand the ocean floor and contributes to the movement of tectonic plates.
What is the chain of mountains that extends into all of the oceans called?
sea floor spreading
What process in which new sea floor forms as older sea floor is pulled apart?
Seafloor spreading where new floor is formed. Subduction zone where older floor is pushed back into the mantle.
