sea-floor spreading is caused by deep-ocean trenches that overflows and makes a new layer come out. heres a video if you would like to watch it.science.discovery.com/videos/...shorts-sea-floor-spreading.html

Which Earth layer is responsible for filling in gaps left by seafloor spreading?
mantel
What did the magnetic strips prove in seafloor spreading?
They proved that the seafloor was spreading.
How to Diagram the process of seafloor spreading?
A diagram that shows how seafloor spreading works.
Which force is responsible for seafloor spreading?
Gravity in the oceanic crust is responsible for seafloor spreading.
Process that forms new seafloor?
Seafloor Spreading
What kind of activity causes seafloor spreading?
Tectonic.
What layer produces the magma that cause seafloor spreading and volcanoes?
the upper mantle

How to Diagram the process of seafloor spreading?
A diagram that shows how seafloor spreading works.
Seafloor spreading begins when?
Seafloor spreading is triggered by a rift in a continental land mass.
Which force is responsible for seafloor spreading?
Gravity in the oceanic crust is responsible for seafloor spreading.
Process that forms new seafloor?
Seafloor Spreading
How Does Seafloor Spreading Effect Continental Drift?
the primary force that causes the seaffloor to spread and contienents to drift
In which earth layer are most convection currents that cause seafloor spreading thought to be located?
The Asthenosphere, a.k.a. the Plastic Mantle.
What does seafloor spreading have to do with the theory of continental drift?
Seafloor Spreading helped move the Continents to their current location.
What does magma have to do with seafloor spreading?
When seafloor spreading occurs, it pushes the underground magma up though the new crust, creating a sort of volcano out of the new crust. Magma is a very important part in seafloor spreading. :]
