What boundary creates seafloor spreading?
Divergent boundaries.
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
What is seafloor spreading best described as?
sea floor spreading is were the earths crust is spreading under the ocean, going almost all the way around the earth, there are also volcanoes where the sea floor spreading, because of the magma coming up from the earth core
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.
Does sea floor spreading occur at a convergent boundary?
No. Seafloor spreading occurs at a divergent boundary.
What boundary creates seafloor spreading?
Divergent boundaries.
What layer produces the magma that cause seafloor spreading and volcanoes?
the upper mantle
What kind of plate boundary separates the arctic plate and the Pacific Plate?
Divergent Plate Boundary. (Seafloor Spreading).
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 is the midatlantic ridge?
The Mid-Atlanic Ridge is the divergent boundary that is responsible for seafloor spreading. Consisting mostly of divergent boundaries, with transform faults as well, this is the site where new oceanic crust is added, increasing the size of the ocean. This location is dotted with underwater volcanoes as igneous basaltic magma is added to fill in the gap left as the oceanic plates drift away.
Why does floor spreading occur?
Because of plate tectonics. Because it's 2 plates underwater that are moving apart. Magma rise up to where the 2 plates are separating to fill in the gap. Seafloor spreading occurs underwater.
What did the magnetic strips prove in seafloor spreading?
They proved that the seafloor was spreading.
How do land structure of Iceland help confirm seafloor spreading?
the Iceland is directly on top of the mid-Atlantic Ocean.Iceland has volcanoes.
How to Diagram the process of seafloor spreading?
A diagram that shows how seafloor spreading works.
