What boundary creates seafloor spreading?
Divergent boundaries.
What is the name of places where new seafloor is created?
New oceanic crust is created at spreading centres. These may also be termed divergent or constructive plate boundaries or Mid-Ocean-Ridges.
Are all plate boundaries located along the margins of continents?
No. Many plate boundaries are on the seafloor far from continents and several are well within continents.
What are underwater mountains found at divergent plate boundaries were the seafloor spreads apart?
a underwater mountain
What states the youngest rocks of ocean floor are at a diverging boundaries moving outward?
seafloor spreading
What type of plate boundaries should the students study in order to understand seafloor spreading?
plate tectonics
Where does seafloor spreading happen?
along plate boundaries
What boundary creates seafloor spreading?
Divergent boundaries.
What type of plate boundary do plates move apart resulting in the upwelling of material from the mantle to create new seafloor?
Big Boundaries
If new seafloor is being created how does the earth stay the same size?
Because it only gets larger in one direction by getting smaller in another. In the case of ocean ridges, the 'other place' is wherever the crust has subducted into the natle at a plate boundary.
Where are most divergent boundaries found?
On the seafloor. Yes, the mid oceanic ridges are all divergent boundaries.
What is the name of places where new seafloor is created?
New oceanic crust is created at spreading centres. These may also be termed divergent or constructive plate boundaries or Mid-Ocean-Ridges.
What seafloor is the process by which new crust is created when seafloor moves apart and magma rises?
Seafloor Spreading
Are all plate boundaries located along the margins of continents?
No. Many plate boundaries are on the seafloor far from continents and several are well within continents.
