Hardens to form new rock at mid-ocean ridges?
Sea- Floor Spreading molten material erupts through the valley that runs along the center of some mid-ocean ridges. This material hardens to form the rock of the ocean floor. Mid-ocean ridges an undersea mountain chain where new ocean floor is produced.
How do strip of magnetized rock on the ocean floor provide evidence of sea-floor spreading?
Strips of ocean-floor basalt record the polarity of earth's magnetic field at the time the rock formed. These strips form a pattern that is the same on both sides of the mid-ocean ridge. the pattern shows that ocean floor forms along mid-ocean ridges and then moves away from the ridge.
Location in ocean basin where new ocean floor is formed?
New ocean floor is formed at mid-ocean ridges, which are underwater mountain ranges where tectonic plates move apart, allowing new magma to rise up and solidify into new crust. This process is known as seafloor spreading.
According to the theory of sea floor spreading new rock is added to the plates at?
...at constructive plate margins / boundaries.hence the term contructive, new crust is "contructed" here.(and destructed at a destructive plate margin / boundary / subduction zone.)
Explain the process by which new sea floor forms at mid-ocean ridges?
as it spread away from a mid-ocean ridge, the sea floor carries with it a record or magnetic reversals. i hope this answer would be correct :) also, when the magma rises through fractures in the sea floor at the mid-ocean ridge, the magma cools and forms new rocks. this new rock takes place of the old rock and the old rock gets pulled away.

What happens when sea-floor speading occurs?
the process by which new material is added to the ocean floor along the boundary between diverging plates.
When lava flows from fissures on the ocean floor at places where tension is causing the ocean floor to be pulled apart new is?
Ocean floor

New ocean floor is formed at mid-ocean ridges, which are underwater mountain ranges where tectonic plates move apart, allowing new magma to rise up and solidify into new crust. This process is known as seafloor spreading.
The process that continually adds new material to ocean floor is?
sedimentation
How does new ocean floor form?
Sea Floor Spreading!
Where is ocean floor created?
Ocean floor is primarily created at mid-ocean ridges where tectonic plates move apart, allowing magma to rise from the mantle and solidify as new oceanic crust. This process, known as seafloor spreading, results in the formation of new crust that eventually spreads away from the ridge and contributes to the growth of the ocean floor.
What cause new material to form at a mid ocean ridge on the ocean floor?
New material forms on the ocean floor of the mid-ocean ridge due to plate tectonics and volcanic activity. Volcanic eruptions deposit cooled magma on the ocean floor.
What new thing are made at the mid-ocean ridge?
The ocean floor.
