How do you use sea-floor spreading in a sentence?
The Super Continent was broken apart, in part by sea-floor spreading.Scientists discovered that sea-floor spreading continues to move the continents.Sea-floor spreading can be measured using specialized equipment.
Are divergent plate boundaries associated with folded mountains and deep sea trenches?
No. Sea floor trenches are found at convergent boundaries. divergen boundaries form mid-ocean ridges.
What are three types of convergent boundary movements and formations?
1. Continent plate/sea floor plate subduction 2. sea floor plate/sea floor plate subduction 3. strike/slip movement
Plate boundry form new ocean floor?
divergant plate boundaries (the most famous being the mid ocean ridge)create new ocean flooors this is called sea spreading
What boundaries is sea floor created?
Convert boundary
Which of the above boundaries is sea floor destroyed?
At a Convergent Boundary.
At which of the above boundaries is sea floor destroyed?
transform boundary
What boundary type is sea floor spreading?
These ridges are spreading centers or divergent plate boundaries
How do ocean ridges and deep-sea trenches support the theory of sea floor spreading?
Sea Floor spreading has to do with the crust forming at ocean ridges and being destroyed at deep sea trenches.

Sea floor is destroyed in which plate boundry?
At a convergent boundary. if seafloor is created at a divergent boundary then it must be the opposite (at a convergent boundary) where is being destroyed.
Where does new sea floor form?
It forms at the edges of Divergent Tectonic Plates; as opposed to the Earthquakes that are found at the Convergent Plate Boundaries [where one Plate subsides beneath the other Plate].
How do magnetic reversals provide evidence of sea - floor spreading?
The presence of magnetic domains of alternating orientation parallel to the plate boundaries.
What plate is sea floor created?
the divergent plate boundary is the one that is sea floor created
Are convergent boundaries and sea-floor spreading related in any way?
No, but divergent boundaries are the spreading of the sea floor and convergent boundaries are tectonic plates push together
Is the Atlantic Ocean the site of a spreading plate boundaries?
Yes it is. It is home to the Mid-Atlantic ridge, a divergent plate boundary, where new crust (sea floor) is created. by your mom
