What else can I help you with?
Place where new seefloor is being created?
New sea floor is being created at mid oceanic ridges.
Where is new sea floor being created?
At Mid-Ocean Ridges.
What is created at the bottom of the ocean because of sea floor speading?
Mid-oceanic ridges are created where sea floor spreading takes place. These are called divergent boundaries and mark places where new sea floor is being created. They are tectonically active regions and can be characterized by undersea vents where magma comes up and cools quickly because of its contact with very cold water.
What cause a new sea floor to be created and how is it created?
Sea floor spreading causes this. As the floor spreads apart new magma is being pushed up through the ridge from the mantle through convection currents. It's like a recycling system.
Does sea-floor spreading increase the diameter of the earth?
No. While new sea floor is being made in one place, at other places it is being destroyed, the diameter of the earth therefore remains constant overall.
When lava flows from fissures on the ocean floor at places where tension is causing the ocean floor to be pulled apart new is?
Ocean floor
What is happening to the land at the mid-ocean ridge?
New ocean floor is being created, pushing the Americas away from Europe and Africa.
Where is new sea floor created?
the ridges
When lava flows from fissure son the ocean floor at places where tension is causing the ocean floor to be pulled apart new?
new land is formed
Places where new sea floor is being created?
New oceanic crust is formed when volcanic activity disrupts the seafloor at the mid- ocean ridge. When this occurs it is referred to as oceanic spreading.
