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.
How did research from the Glomar Challenger help scientists support the theory of seafloor spreading?
Drill cores from the ocean floor were dated and found to be very young compared to the age of the earth. This means the crust had to be formed recently, which can be explained by creation of crust at a spreading center.
A quadrant may be long and narrow?
Since a quadrant is the upper or lower, right or left side of a specific place or thing, then it can be long and narrow, or short and wide. For example, when a physician examines a person's abdomen, the way he defines which part of the abdomen to which he is referring, it is charted (documented) as the "upper right quadrant", which means the upper half, on the right side of the abdomen. The same could apply to a parcel of land. The lower left quadrant of a piece of land would be the lower left section of the land, which can be any shape, as well. Quad means "four", therefore, quadrant means a "one fourth" section of a place or thing, and can be any shape or size.
