At a Convergent Boundary.
Sea floor is destroyed at convergent boundaries where two tectonic plates collide. One plate is forced underneath the other in a process called subduction, leading to the destruction of the denser oceanic plate.
Yes, convergent boundaries and sea-floor spreading are related in the sense that sea-floor spreading can occur at divergent boundaries (where tectonic plates move apart), leading to the creation of new oceanic crust. This new oceanic crust can then be consumed at convergent boundaries (where tectonic plates collide), as one plate is subducted beneath the other.
No, sea floor spreading does not happen in a convergent boundary. Sea floor spreading occurs at divergent boundaries, where tectonic plates move away from each other, allowing magma to rise and create new oceanic crust. Convergent boundaries involve tectonic plates colliding, leading to subduction or mountain building.
The sea floor is destroyed in subduction zones, where one tectonic plate is pushed beneath another. This process is responsible for the destruction of oceanic crust and the formation of deep ocean trenches.
An undersea volcanic formation that doesn't rise 1000 meters above the surrounding sea floor is called a seamount.

The Super Continent was broken apart, in part by sea-floor spreading.Scientists discovered that sea-floor spreading continues to move the continents.Sea-floor spreading can be measured using specialized equipment.
This would be called sea floor spreading, apparent at divergent boundaries.
These ridges are spreading centers or divergent plate boundaries

No. Sea floor trenches are found at convergent boundaries. divergen boundaries form mid-ocean ridges.
