The ocean bottom is part of the crust?
sea floor
What is the process that creates new ocean crust to form molten rock?
Sea Floor Spreading
Does sea floor spreading create or destroy new oceanic crust at mid ocean ridge?
Sea floor spreading creates new oceanic crust at mid-ocean ridges. Magma rises to the surface, cools, and solidifies to form new crust as tectonic plates move apart. This process contributes to the continuous expansion of the ocean floor.
What term describes the process that creates new oceanic crust at mid ocean ridges?
Sea Floor Spreading
What happens to the old ocean floor as the sea floor spreads?
As the sea floor spreads, the old ocean floor gets pushed out, which makes the plates move.
What is the ocean bottom?
The sea floor, or sea bed.
Are there any mountains on the ocean floor on the ocean floor?
Derr! there called sea mount's.
Where does sea floor spread?
Sea floor spreading occurs at mid-ocean ridges.
How does sea floor spreading alter the shape of the ocean floor?
Sea floor spreading occurs when new oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges and pushes the existing crust apart. As the new crust cools and solidifies, it creates a symmetrical pattern where the ocean floor becomes wider. This process alters the shape of the ocean floor by creating a series of parallel ridges and valleys.
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.
How does new ocean floor form?
Sea Floor Spreading!
What is sea floor spreeding?
a crack in the ocean floor appears.
