What kind of plate boundary forms a deep sea trench?
Convergent
What effect does a trench have on an ocean?
suduction or sea floor spreading
What boundaries is sea floor created?
Convert boundary
What floor feature forms when two oceanic plates collide?
deep sea trench
What are three types of convergent boundary movements and formations?
1. Continent plate/sea floor plate subduction 2. sea floor plate/sea floor plate subduction 3. strike/slip movement
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
How does the ocean floor and the center slit differ on the side slit?
By center slit I assume that you mean a mid ocean ridge which is a divergent boundary and the sea floor is very young there. Then be side slit I am assuming that you mean a trench which is a convergent boundary or subduction zone which would be the oldest part of the sea floor.
What kind of plate boundary forms a deep sea trench?
Convergent
Why is the earth's surface not expanding?
This is because when one divergent boundary is occurring (more sea floor being made), convergent boundaries are occurring (the sea floor is being consumed) on the other sides of the plates, such as what is occurring at the Mariannas Trench in the Pacific Ocean.
What kind of boundary is sea floor spreading found?
spreading boundary
What plate is sea floor created?
the divergent plate boundary is the one that is sea floor created
What effect does a trench have on an ocean?
suduction or sea floor spreading
What boundaries create the sea floor?
transform boundary
What boundaries is sea floor created?
Convert boundary
What boundary the tectonics theory sea floor spreading takes place?
divergent boundary
What are non-examples of sea floor spreading?
Marianas Trench
What forces sea floor spreading?
Sea floor spreading is caused by convection currents in the mantle to cause a divergent boundary underwater. When the divergent boundary spreads, it caues a mid-ocean ridge. This is sea-floor spreading. Hope I helped!
