What else can I help you with?
Why would it be useful for scientists to use a model in order to study the spreading of the Atlantic oceans floor?
it would take several years to collect the data about the process first hand
How are new oceans formed?
sea floor spreading
What is happening to the floor of the Atlantic ocean due to movement of the plates under the ocean?
The floor of the Atlantic Ocean is spreading apart as the tectonic plates beneath it move away from each other. This process, known as seafloor spreading, results in the creation of new oceanic crust along mid-ocean ridges. As the plates move apart, magma rises from the mantle to fill in the gap, solidifying into new crust and pushing the existing crust away.
What happens at the mid-atlantic ridge?
Sea floor spreading
What motion of the sea floor is responsible for the formation of the mid Atlantic ridges rift valley?
According to scientists, the process associated with seafloor spreading is responsible for the formation of the mid Atlantic ridges rift valley.
Does sea-floor spreading occur in oceans only?
It occurs in the oceanic crust!!!
What is the chain of mountains that extends into all of the oceans called?
sea floor spreading
What discovery led scientists to accept Wegeners continental drift hypothesis?
One day while scientists were exploring the sea floor, they discovered sea-floor spreading, thus proving Wegener's hypothesis to be correct.
How the ocean floor spreading relates to the ring of fire?
Nothing much. The ocean floor spreading is in the Atlantic ocean caused by the mid oceanic ridge which is the largest and longest mountain range in the world. It is huge and if you google ocean floor maps you will see a thing that goes all over the oceans floors. The volcanos erupt as the plates shift away from each other.
What made the scientists believe that the ocean floor is spreading?

What did Hess discover by testing at the mid Atlantic ridge?
he discover sea floor spreading
At what boundary does sea-floor spreading occur?
Consider. In sea-floor spreading, the plates are spreading apart; in other words diverging. So sea-floor spreading occurs at a divergent boundary,
