What else can I help you with?
Are convergent boundaries and sea-floor spreading related in any way?
Yes, convergent boundaries and sea-floor spreading are related in the sense that sea-floor spreading can occur at divergent boundaries (where tectonic plates move apart), leading to the creation of new oceanic crust. This new oceanic crust can then be consumed at convergent boundaries (where tectonic plates collide), as one plate is subducted beneath the other.
Does sea floor spreading occur at a convergent boundary?
No, sea floor spreading does not occur at a convergent boundary. Sea floor spreading occurs at divergent boundaries where tectonic plates move away from each other, allowing magma to rise and create new oceanic crust. At convergent boundaries, two plates collide, leading to subduction or crustal deformation.
Does sea floor spreading happen in a convergent boundary?
No, sea floor spreading does not happen in a convergent boundary. Sea floor spreading occurs at divergent boundaries, where tectonic plates move away from each other, allowing magma to rise and create new oceanic crust. Convergent boundaries involve tectonic plates colliding, leading to subduction or mountain building.
How does transform plate boundaries help divergent boundaries?
Transform plate boundaries accommodate the horizontal motion between divergent boundaries by allowing the plates to slide past each other. This movement prevents the plates from colliding or converging, helping to facilitate the separation and spreading of the divergent boundaries.
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.
What happens at the plate boundaries where spreading occurs?
the earth drifts away. This is science.
What happens to spreading boundaries?
SPREADING ZONES Spreading zone occurs in the border of two tectonic plates. This happens when the plates generally move away from each other creating an opening for the magma to force through the surface.
What are spreading boundaries?
Spreading boundaries are places where two plates move apart.
What happens at spreading plate boundaries?
tectonic plates move apart allowing magma to move to the surface.
How are spreading boundaries related to volcanoes?
they are not
Divergent Boundaries are also called?
Spreading centers.
What do spreading boundaries do?
They create new crust.
How do spreading boundaries plates move?
it moves
What causes volcanoes to form at spreading boundaries?
Please make the question clearer. There are converging and diverging boundaries but not spreading boundaries. Plates move but don't spread. Please make the question clearer
What are the three types of boundaries?
Three types of plate boundaries are spreading boundaries, colliding boundaries, and sliding boundaries. um actually they are divergent, convergent, and transform
How is seafloor spreading formed?
This happens at divergent boundaries where the plates move away from each other. Magma slips up here and forms new crust.
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.
