because the plates the mantle would slide under each other hitting the mantle causing the magma to erup causing volcano

Would the most violent earth quacks be associated with spreading centers or subduction zones?
subduction zones
What Landform that best describes centers of population or is most clearly associated with it?
PLAINS
Why do oceanic rises and oceanic ridges exist?
They are located at spreading centers in the middle of the ocean. As tectonic plates move apart, magma fills it in and creates ridges and rises which are essentially mountain chains.
Basalt is the most common magma erupted along oceanic rift systems?
True. Reference: http://www.studystack.com/flashcard-303839
Sea floor spreading occurs at what type of plate boundary?
At divergent boundary, there is a mid ocean ridge where the most recent material is still slightly lighter then the chilled product. This slight elevation soon disappears as the plates move away from the boundary.
Would the most violent earth quacks be associated with spreading centers or subduction zones?
subduction zones
What do volcanic belts form along on?
Both subduction zones and spreading centers.
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.
Ocean ridges generally are located where?
At spreading centers.
What boundary type is sea floor spreading?
These ridges are spreading centers or divergent plate boundaries
Microtubule-producing centers are most closely associated with?
Microtubule producing centers are most closely associated with?
Divergent Boundaries are also called?
Spreading centers.
Explain the relationship between trenches and seafloor spreading?
1. New sea-floor is created by the upwelling of magma at mid-ocean spreading centers; old ocean floor is destroyed by subduction at deep sea trenches. 2. The area is a subduction zone. Magma from underground comes up and destroys that crust. That crust is then recycled and the magma cools and hardens. That creates new land, that creates the trenches. Seafloor spreading is in the ocean and happens with convection currents. That is the relationship between. 3. As new seafloor is formed at mid-ocean ridges, the old seafloor is pushed down into trenches at subduction zones.
Where are most seafloor spreading centers located?
It is the mid-ocean ridges.
What are the spreading centers?
It is a center at the bottom of the ocean that occurs at mid-ocean ridges
What type of boundary occurs mostly at the mid-ocean ridge?
spreading centers
