What is the center of a ripple called?
The center of a ripple is called the focal point. This is where the disturbance that creates the ripple originates, spreading outwards in concentric circles.
What kinds of ocean currents might cause seafloor spreading?
Oceanic currents themselves do not directly cause seafloor spreading. Seafloor spreading is primarily driven by tectonic forces, specifically the movement of tectonic plates away from each other at mid-ocean ridges. This movement leads to the upwelling of magma from the mantle, creating new oceanic crust at the spreading center. Ocean currents can affect the distribution of heat and nutrients in the ocean, but they do not play a direct role in the process of seafloor spreading.
Where does seafloor spreading take place?
Mid-Ocean ridges.
How did maria form?
Maria formed when a tropical wave in the Atlantic Ocean organized and developed into a tropical storm. As the storm system strengthened, it gained a well-defined center and sustained winds of at least 39 miles per hour, earning it the name Maria.
Site of sea floor spreading?
Sea floor spreading occurs along mid-ocean ridges, where tectonic plates are moving apart. As the plates separate, magma rises from the mantle to create new oceanic crust at the spreading center. This process leads to the continuous expansion of the ocean floor and plays a key role in plate tectonics.
What is a spreading center on the ocean floor?
sea floor-spreading..;)
Name one spreading center?

Is the BL Lacertae the active center of an elliptical galaxy?
BL Lacertae is the active center of an elliptical galaxy.
What is the difference in spreading center earthquakes and subduction zone?
Spreading center earthquakes are always shallow, subduction zone earthquakes can be very deep.Spreading center earthquakes are typically of lower magnitude than subduction zone earthquakes.
What is another name for spreading center?
divergent plate boundary
What types of volcanoes are formed at spreading centers?
Volcanoes at spreading centers is referred to as spreading center volcanism. This usually takes place on mid-oceanic ridges where the plates diverge.
What is a spreading?
It is a center at the bottom of the ocean that occurs at mid-ocean ridges
What is spreading centers?
It is a center at the bottom of the ocean that occurs at mid-ocean ridges
What is a galaxy with a black hole at the center?
Active.
How are rocks near continents different from rocks found near centers of seafloor spreading?
Rocks near continents are typically older and more varied in composition, while rocks near centers of seafloor spreading are younger and primarily composed of basalt. Continental rocks may have undergone more geological processes, leading to greater diversity in mineral content and structure, whereas seafloor rocks are usually basaltic due to the solidification of magma from undersea volcanic activity.
At what boundary does sea-floor spreading occur?
Consider. In sea-floor spreading, the plates are spreading apart; in other words diverging. So sea-floor spreading occurs at a divergent boundary,
