What type of plate boundary do plates move apart resulting in the upwelling of material from the mantle to create new seafloor?
Big Boundaries
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.
What happens along a divergent boundary between two oceanic plates?
A rift valley, volcano, earthquake, trench.
Does sea floor spreading occur at a convergent boundary?
No. Seafloor spreading occurs at a divergent boundary.
At which type of plate boundary is the youngest seafloor located?
At the mid-ocean ridges, a divergent plate boundary.

Big Boundaries
At a divergent boundary land is gained or lost?
At a divergent boundary, land is gained. Ocean ridges are prominent at divergent plate boundaries. Ocean ridges are areas of seafloor spreading. Seafloor spreading occurs as upwelling magma rises to the surface. This upwelling magma hardens and forms new seafloor.
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.
Which type of boundaries is seafloor created by?
Seafloor is created at divergent plate boundaries called the mid-ocean ridges.
How do you explain the process of the seafloor spreading?
The seafloor spreading definition is the geologic process that occurs at the boundary between 2 plates where molten material within the earth pushes its way up, causing the plates to move away from each other. At these divergent boundaries molten material cools and hardens, creating new oceanic crust or seafloor
What happens along a divergent boundary between two oceanic plates?
A rift valley, volcano, earthquake, trench.
What boundary creates seafloor spreading?
Divergent boundaries.
Does sea floor spreading occur at a convergent boundary?
No. Seafloor spreading occurs at a divergent boundary.
At which type of plate boundary is the youngest seafloor located?
At the mid-ocean ridges, a divergent plate boundary.
Which plate boundary creates new land like the seafloor at the mid-Atlantic ridge?
A Divergent Boundary
What kind of plate boundary separates the arctic plate and the Pacific Plate?
Divergent Plate Boundary. (Seafloor Spreading).
Sea floor is destroyed in which plate boundry?
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.
