What did geologists of the late 1700's conclude about Earth's landforms?

What is spreading in regards to geology?
Spreading is generally thought of when speaking of sea-floor spreading. Sea-floor spreading takes place at the mid-ocean ridge where two oceanic plates are spreading/pulling apart from one another.

How do constructive forces help the earth?
They could help in creating new lithospheric (crust) plates. As in the case of divergent boundary, where new ocean floor is produced and expanded (sea-floor spreading).
What happens at constructive boundaries?
Creation of new crust through up swelling and out rising of magma to cover areas of sea floor spreading or lithospheric seperation.
Process in which new sea floor forms as older sea floor is pulled apart?
sea-floor spreading
