Which plate boundary creates new land like the seafloor at the mid-Atlantic ridge?
A Divergent Boundary
What occurs at plate boundaries that are associated with seafloor spreading?
When seafloor spreading happens, a rift forms at the bottom of a ocean and separates to form new rock. This is an example of a divergent plate boundary
Process that forms new seafloor?
Seafloor Spreading
What process forms new seafloor?
Seafloor spreading at midoceanic ridges.
Boundary between two plates that are moving apart?
Convergent: plates move into one another.Divergent: plates move apart.Transform: plates move sideways in relation to each other.
What type of plate boundary do plates move apart resulting in the upwelling of material from the mantle to create new seafloor?
Big Boundaries
Which plate boundary creates new land like the seafloor at the mid-Atlantic ridge?
A Divergent Boundary
What type of plate boundary does not create or destroy crust?
Transform Boundaries don't destroy or create new crust(:
What happens along a divergent boundary between two oceanic plates?
A rift valley, volcano, earthquake, trench.
At a divergent boundary land is gained or lost?
At a divergent boundary, land is gained. Ocean ridges are prominent at divergent plate boundaries. Ocean ridges are areas of seafloor spreading. Seafloor spreading occurs as upwelling magma rises to the surface. This upwelling magma hardens and forms new seafloor.
What type of boundary moves away from each other allowing magma to create new ocean crust?
Divergent
What occurs at plate boundaries that are associated with seafloor spreading?
When seafloor spreading happens, a rift forms at the bottom of a ocean and separates to form new rock. This is an example of a divergent plate boundary
The type of plate boundary where plates move apart resulting in upwelling of material from the mantle to create new sea-floor is known as what plate boundary?
Mid-Atlantic Trench
What does seafloor spreading create?
New oceanic crust is created at the mid-ocean ridges.
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
Place where seafloor spreading occurs?
Seafloor spreading occurs at the boundary between two tectonic plates. As the plates divide, magma comes up through the crack and cools to form new sea floor. The farther away the floor is from the boundary, the older it is.
Process that forms new seafloor?
Seafloor Spreading
