What process makes new crust when the sea floor moves apart and magma rises up?
The process that makes new crust when the sea floor moves apart and magma rises up is called seafloor spreading. Magma from the mantle rises to the surface at mid-ocean ridges, cools, and solidifies to form new crust as the tectonic plates move apart. This process contributes to the continuous growth of the seafloor and the expansion of the ocean basins.
What kind of geographical feature does a volcano form when it rises through the surface of the sea or lake?
an island
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 are storm beaches formed?
well if the sea level rises a bit and the beach is windy then it will form into a storm
What is called when new crust forms where magma rises at mid ocean ridges?
sea floor spreading
How can diamonds form at river beds?
Diamonds don't 'form' in river beds or in the sea bed where some are found. Diamonds are propelled into river beds and to the sea by water that flows over the kimberlite pipe where the diamonds are formed.Diamonds found in water are generally referred to as alluvial stones, meaning deposited in the water over a long period.
What is sea breeze and when does it form?
At night the air above the sea is hot. It rises up. It creates a low pressure there. So air from the land blows towards the sea ,thus resulting in sea breeze. It forms at night.
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 type of plate boundry creates new sea floor?
New sea floor is created at divergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates move away from each other. As the plates separate, magma rises from the mantle to fill the gap, solidifying to form new oceanic crust. This process is commonly observed at mid-ocean ridges, such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
Why sea water is salty than rain water?
sea beds have salt producing mines.
What is the name of the place where salt is obtained from sea water?
Salt beds. The water is allowed to evaporate from the beds leaving the salt.
Where does the new rocks form on the sea floor?
Forms by lava from volcanoes on the sea floor
