Ocean sea floor is the bottom of the ocean, under all the water, also known as benthos.
Deep-sea organisms have been difficult to study because the ocean floor is hard to get to.
Ocean ridges and deep-sea trenches support the theory of sea floor spreading through the process of plate tectonics. At ocean ridges, new oceanic crust is formed as magma rises and solidifies, pushing the existing crust apart. Deep-sea trenches are areas where old oceanic crust is being subducted back into the mantle, completing the cycle of sea floor spreading. This continuous movement of crust at ridges and trenches provides evidence for the theory of sea floor spreading and the movement of tectonic plates.
Yes, the sea floor near the mid-ocean ridge is young. As magma rises along the ridge, it solidifies to form new crust, creating a continuous process of crust formation and pushing older crust away from the ridge. This results in the oldest sea floor being farthest from the mid-ocean ridges.
Yes, the theory of sea floor spreading was confirmed through the discovery of mid-ocean ridges, magnetic striping patterns on the ocean floor, and the study of ages of oceanic crust. This evidence supported the idea that new crust is continually created at mid-ocean ridges and spreads away from them.
Not exactly. Sea mountains are underwater topographic features that rise above the ocean floor but are not necessarily volcanic in origin. They can be formed through various geological processes such as tectonic activity or erosion.
Sea floor spreading mean the process by which molten material adds new oceanic crust to the ocean floor
As the sea floor spreads, the old ocean floor gets pushed out, which makes the plates move.
The sea floor, or sea bed.
Derr! there called sea mount's.
Sea floor spreading occurs at mid-ocean ridges.
Sea Floor Spreading!
a crack in the ocean floor appears.
sea floor-spreading..;)
By center slit I assume that you mean a mid ocean ridge which is a divergent boundary and the sea floor is very young there. Then be side slit I am assuming that you mean a trench which is a convergent boundary or subduction zone which would be the oldest part of the sea floor.
Sea floor spreading occurs at the mid ocean ridges.
