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 is the modern seafloor spreading rate range?
Typical rates of spreading average around 5 centimeter (2 inches) per year.
How do you calculate the rate of seafloor spreading?
rate of spreading for stripe = width of stripe / time duration If a magnetic strips is 60 km wide and formed over 2 million years, then the rate at which spreading formed the was 30 km/m.y. The rate is equivalent to 3 cm/year. Spreading added an equal width of oceanic crust to a plate on the other side of the mid-ocean ridge, so the total rate of spreading across the ridge was 60 km/m.y. (6 cm/year), a typical rate of seafloor spreading.
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.
