Do divergent plate boundaries only occur on the ocean floor?
No, divergent plate boundaries can occur both on the ocean floor and on land. When they occur on the ocean floor, they create mid-ocean ridges, while on land they can create rift valleys.
How sea floor spreding provides a mechanism by which continents move?
Fu
Do Divergent boundaries only occur on the ocean floor?
No. They can also occur on continents.
What is the result of an earthquake occurring on the ocean floor?
tsunami's would occur
What does produce when sea floor spreading occur?
An ocean because when the ocean spread out the ocean floor is moving and becoming large but because also of the sinking of the ocean floor it 's not becoming larger it's just maintaining it own size. lyssa
Another name for divergent boundaries that occur under the ocean is?
Sea floor spreading
Where does sea flooring occur?
Sea floor spreading occurs at mid-ocean ridges.
Do most earthquakes occur under the ocean floor or on land?
Most earthquakes occur on the ocean floor, particularly along tectonic plate boundaries such as the Pacific Ring of Fire. However, earthquakes can also occur on land where tectonic plates meet, such as along faults like the San Andreas Fault in California.
Mid ocean ridges which contribute to the process of sea-floor spreding form as a result of?
Mid-ocean ridges form as a result of tectonic plate divergence, where two oceanic plates move apart. This movement allows magma from the mantle to rise and solidify at the ocean floor, creating new oceanic crust. As the plates continue to separate, new material is added, leading to the process of sea-floor spreading. This process is crucial for the renewal of the Earth's crust and plays a significant role in plate tectonics.
Why does deep-ocean trench occur?
At deep-ocean trenches, subduction allows part of the ocean floor to sink back into the mantle. The ocean floor does not just keep spreading. Instead, it sinks beneath deep underwater canyons called deep-ocean trenches. Where there are trenches, subduction takes place.
