What does seafloor spreading form?
Mid-ocean ridge system.
What phenomenon occurs as a result of seafloor spreading?
In 1960, seafloor spreading was hypothesized by Harry Hess of Princeton University. Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent boundaries and it is said to be the mechanism that operates along the oceanic ridge system to generate new seafloor. Thus, the result of seafloor spreading is the creation of new sea floor through the uplift of magma: magma raises from asthenosphere, new oceanic lithosphere moves from ridge, and it thickens, cools (becomes denser), and subsides.
What theory did Harry Hess come up with that supported Wegeners belief that continents moved?
He proposed the theory of seafloor spreading based upon this evidence and newly published maps of the seafloor topography indicating the existence of a world wide mid ocean ridge system.
Which root system would you classify mangroves spreading roots?
taproot

What is inside a volcanoses?
lava can come up from under the volcano (but before it comes out it is called magma) but it is just really a system of cracks where magma can come out
How do you waterproof a basement?
Usually waterproofing of basement means repairing of cracks in foundation walls with injection of epoxy or polyurethane into the cracks. When water comes from the floor, it means your drainage system does not work, this could be fixed by cleaning/repairing existing system or installing new system inside the basement.
Which root system would you classify the mangrove's spreading root'srubber tree and giant tropical tree?
the root system
Is animalia the only kingdom with a reproductive system?
no plants reproduce by spreading seeds
Can water from or antifreeze cooling system get into cylinders?
It can if the head gasket fractures or the cylinder head cracks.
