It is believed that the Lapetus Ocean closed as a result of tectonic plate movements, with the collision of the Eurasian and North American plates causing the formation of the Appalachian Mountains and the eventual closure of the ocean basin. Subduction of the oceanic crust beneath the continental crust also contributed to its closure.

Before the discovery of seafloor spreading, mid-ocean ridges were thought to be static features.

This discovery fundamentally changed our understanding of plate tectonics and the geologic processes happening at mid-ocean ridges.
