What else can I help you with?
Does sea floor spreading occur at a convergent boundary?
No, sea floor spreading does not occur at a convergent boundary. Sea floor spreading occurs at divergent boundaries where tectonic plates move away from each other, allowing magma to rise and create new oceanic crust. At convergent boundaries, two plates collide, leading to subduction or crustal deformation.
Are convergent boundaries and sea-floor spreading related in any way?
Yes, convergent boundaries and sea-floor spreading are related in the sense that sea-floor spreading can occur at divergent boundaries (where tectonic plates move apart), leading to the creation of new oceanic crust. This new oceanic crust can then be consumed at convergent boundaries (where tectonic plates collide), as one plate is subducted beneath the other.
Which landform would most likely be found at a convergent subduction boundary?
convergent boundary -rift valley divergent boundary -mid-ocean ridge
Sea floor is destroyed in which plate boundry?
The sea floor is destroyed in subduction zones, where one tectonic plate is pushed beneath another. This process is responsible for the destruction of oceanic crust and the formation of deep ocean trenches.
Is the Mariana trench convergent divergent or transform?
The Mariana Trench is a convergent plate boundary.

Sea floor spreading occurs at divergent boundaries where tectonic plates move away from each other, allowing magma to rise and create new oceanic crust. At convergent boundaries, two plates collide, leading to subduction or crustal deformation.
Where would a convergent boundary be located on the ocean floor?
any where
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!
What boundary the tectonics theory sea floor spreading takes place?
divergent boundary
Are convergent boundaries and sea-floor spreading related in any way?
Yes, convergent boundaries and sea-floor spreading are related in the sense that sea-floor spreading can occur at divergent boundaries (where tectonic plates move apart), leading to the creation of new oceanic crust. This new oceanic crust can then be consumed at convergent boundaries (where tectonic plates collide), as one plate is subducted beneath the other.
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,
What kind of boundary can sea floor spreading occur?
subducting
What boundary type is sea floor spreading?
These ridges are spreading centers or divergent plate boundaries
What does the presence of the sea floor spreading indicate?
a divergent plate boundary.
Does sea floor spreading occurs along a transform boundary?
yes
How does new oceanic crust from at a divergent plate boundary?
Sea-Floor Spreading is your answer.
Which landform would most likely be found at a convergent subduction boundary?
convergent boundary -rift valley divergent boundary -mid-ocean ridge
