Why do scientists look to the ocean floor to research the mantle?
Why do scientists look to the ocean floor to research the mantle? Because magma from the mantle flows out of active volcanoes on the ocean floor. These underwater volcanoes have given scientists many clues about the composition of the mantle.
Most shield volcanoes have grown from the ocean floor to form?
islands
Which of these would be indications that a given mountain range was not formed by subduction?
It is not along an ocean coastline. There are no volcanoes.
Why are diatom shells found in ocean-floor sediments?
diatom shells settle on the ocean floor from the surface
Where can you find the youngest rocks on the ocean floor?
you can find the youngest rocks on the top of the ocean floor.
What ocean has volcanoes on its floor?
Pacific Ocean
What ocean floor feature consists of chains of individual volcanoes?
The ocean floor feature that consist of chains of individual volcanoes is called mid ocean ridges. This ridge can rise from 1 to 3 kilometers above the ocean basin.

Can both volcanoes and earthquakes form on the ocean floor?
yes
ARE THERE ANY VOLCANOES UNDER THE ARCTIC?
Yes, on the ocean floor.
What ocean floor feature underwater volcano?
There is an extrmely high amount of underwater volcanoes on pretty much every ocean floor.
Most shield volcanoes have grown from the ocean floor to form?
islands

What do you think is causing the ocean floor to increase in size?
Sea Floor Spreading and the way the volcanoes erupt make the mountains erode into the ocean.
What is the role of mid ocean ridge in sea floor spreading?
to make volcanoes
Are there volcanoes on the divergent seafloor?
Yes there are many volcanoes on the ocean floor. Many are very active and there are sea animals that live around them.
