Mid-oceanic ridges
What else can I help you with?
Does seafloor spreading hold the plates in place?
No, seafloor spreading does not hold the plates in place. Seafloor spreading is a process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges where new oceanic crust is formed and spreads apart. It is driven by the movement of tectonic plates, which are actually responsible for holding the seafloor in place.
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.
Seafloor spreading begins when?
Seafloor spreading is triggered by a rift in a continental land mass.
Which force is responsible for seafloor spreading?
Gravity in the oceanic crust is responsible for seafloor spreading.
What is a place where seafloor spreading occurs?
One example would be...the mid-atlantic ridge.
What best describes the geologic event taking place in the above illustration?
Seafloor spreading
Where is place where seafloor spreading occurs?
One example would be...the mid-atlantic ridge.
Which observation was not instrumenntal in formulating the hypothesis of seafloor spreading?
The observation of the alternating magnetic stripes on the seafloor was instrumental in formulating the hypothesis of seafloor spreading.
What does seafloor spreading have to do with the theory of continental drift?
Seafloor Spreading helped move the Continents to their current location.
