If a piece of sea floor has moved 50 km in 5 million years what is the yearly rate of sea-floor motion?
The yearly rate would be 0.00001 km per year.
What boundary seafloor destroyed?
At a convergent boundary. if seafloor is created at a divergent boundary then it must be the opposite (at a convergent boundary) where is being destroyed.
Does sea floor spreading occur at a convergent boundary?
No. Seafloor spreading occurs at a divergent boundary.
What are two pieces of evidence for sea-floor spreading?
Magnetic stripes and absolute ages of seafloor basalt.
Explain how ocean-floor rocks and sediments are evidence of seafloor spreading?
The seafloor rocks vary in different places. Rock samples near ocean ridges are younger than rocks at deep sea trenches

The yearly rate would be 0.00001 km per year.
What is the age of the oldest seafloor?
The oldest seafloor is estimated to be around 200 million years old. New oceanic crust is continuously formed at mid-ocean ridges, so the seafloor is constantly being recycled.
What is the age of the seafloor?
The sea floor is older than 200 million years. It has been recycled by plate tectonics. Very old rocks have survived.
What is seafloor mining?
Mining on the sea floor, are you dumb?
Where do you find young seafloor?
in the depths of the oceanic crust floor.
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.
What rhymes with detour?
Floor, seafloor, boar,Moor, lure, sure
Which geologic process forms new crust on the ocean floor?
seafloor speading
The bottom of the ocean is called?
The bottom of an ocean is typically called the seafloor. Although the seafloor can have variant geographical features such as mountains or volcanos, a normal, and flat terrain is called the seafloor.
Biological richest part of the seafloor?
The abyssal plains are the richest parts of the sea floor.
What is this is the process of creating new oceanic crust?
Sea floor spreading
What three pieces of evidence for Wegener's theory came from the sea floor?
seafloor spreading, age of the sea floor and ocean trenches.
