When a spreading boundary develops on land, two slabs of Earths' crust slide apart. :D :ID (c:
No, but divergent boundaries are the spreading of the sea floor and convergent boundaries are tectonic plates push together
Magma
When two subducting boundaries come together.
Yes. Seafloor spreading is the term given to the creation of new seafloor at divergent boundaries. At a divergent boundary, two oceanic plates move apart, which obviously means that something must then surface to fill the void. This is where the magma rises from the Earth's interior and cools to become seafloor. On the other end, at convergent boundaries, the old seafloor is forced under the continental plates, where it is recycled back into the Earth's magma supply.
Because the Asthenosphere is malleable, divergent boundaries and convergent boundaries are formed. The plasticity of the Asthenosphere allows the plates to move through sea floor spreading and subduction zones.
the earth drifts away. This is science.
Spreading boundaries are places where two plates move apart.
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.
tectonic plates move apart allowing magma to move to the surface.
When seafloor spreading happens, a rift forms at the bottom of a ocean and separates to form new rock. This is an example of a divergent plate boundary

they are not
it is opposite because subdution sinks in the earth crust and back up and spreading boundaries spread appart.
it moves
Magma
They create new crust.
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
