What is a ridge and a trench?
A ridge is a long, elevated landform consisting of a series of hills or mountains that are connected. It is typically formed by tectonic activity, such as the collision of tectonic plates. A trench, on the other hand, is a long, narrow depression in the ocean floor. Trenches are usually formed where one tectonic plate is subducted beneath another, creating a deep and steeply inclined boundary.
What are the black diamond markings on a tape measure?
the marking are what we call the 19-2 layout (19 and 2/10ths inches). used more with floor trusses. the floor trusses are strong enough to be spaced just over 19 inches apart and a sheet of floor decking still works being half on the truss at eight feet. floor trusses are made of 2x4's and steel plates.
What country eats their food on the floor?
People in many countries place their plates or bowls on the ground when eating, so that they do not need to use a table. Others use the ground to cook food (indigenous populations often do). However, no country eats off the floor like a dog or cat would.
When was Floor Thirteen created?
Floor Thirteen was created in 1998.

How sea floor spreading provide evidence for tectonic plates?
by the plate tectonic and the ocean bridges
What provides the most evidence for the theory of plates tectonic?
The spreading of the sea floor.
What are three types of evidence from the sea floor that prove the existence tectonic plates?
Earthquakes along the seafloor, tsunamis, and changed water movements.
What Three types of evidence from the sea floor that prove earths tectonic plates move?
Earthquakes along the seafloor, tsunamis, and changed water movements.
What moves the ocean floor?
the tectonic plates under the earths surface
What is on the ocean floor if the tectonic plates are moving towards each other?
a trench
How does the movement of tectonic plates and continents relate?
When the plates drift apart through sea floor spreading, so do the continents
What is the young ocean floor?
The Young Ocean Floor is the part of the mantle showing between the 2 split tectonic plates.
Is the analysis of seafoor sediments evidence of sea-floor spreading?
Not really but sea floor sediments thickness increase with increased distance from spreading centers which is good evidence. Other evidence such as magnetic reversals, temperature, dating methods provide the best evidence of seafloor spreading
How does the age of the sea floor show that the tectonic plates move?
The age of the sea floor provides evidence for tectonic plate movement through the process of seafloor spreading. As magma rises at mid-ocean ridges, it cools and solidifies to form new oceanic crust, which is youngest at the ridge and gets progressively older as you move away. By dating the rock samples, scientists can map the age of the sea floor and observe how older crust is pushed away from the ridge, demonstrating the movement of tectonic plates. This pattern supports the theory of plate tectonics, illustrating how plates diverge, converge, and interact over geological time.
Are convergent boundaries and sea-floor spreading related in any way?
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.
Can plated carry continents or parts of the ocean floor but not both?
Tectonic Plates can't carry both ocean floor and continents on the same plate.
