What does magma have to do with seafloor spreading?

When seafloor spreading occurs, it pushes the underground magma up though the new crust, creating a sort of volcano out of the new crust. Magma is a very important part in seafloor spreading. :]


Were does magma often move upward though in the crust?

Through cracks.


When the seafloor spreads apart does hot saltwater move upward and flows from the cracks?

Who ever told you that the answer is yes, is steering you straight to hell! The answer is magma not saltwater!


What happens when a continental plate and a oceanic plate separate?

Magma fills the crack and hardens into new seafloor.


What do you do after you find sootoplis?

You will need to defeat the Team Aqua or Magma grunts in the Seafloor Cavern and make your way though their ranks to the leader of Team Aqua/Magma.


Does Magma push towards the Earth's surface through cracks?

Magma can use cracks that are already there on it way to the surface. If there are no cracks present, the magma can create them.


What seafloor is the process by which new crust is created when seafloor moves apart and magma rises?

Explain the relationship between trenches and seafloor spreading?

1. New sea-floor is created by the upwelling of magma at mid-ocean spreading centers; old ocean floor is destroyed by subduction at deep sea trenches. 2. The area is a subduction zone. Magma from underground comes up and destroys that crust. That crust is then recycled and the magma cools and hardens. That creates new land, that creates the trenches. Seafloor spreading is in the ocean and happens with convection currents. That is the relationship between. 3. As new seafloor is formed at mid-ocean ridges, the old seafloor is pushed down into trenches at subduction zones.


What causes the seafloor to spread?

rising molten magma


In the process of sea floor spreading what happens when magma rises to the earths surface and solidifies?

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.
