What is the type of crust formed on the ocean floor?
Oceanic crust, formed mostly of mafic rocks, or sima, is found on the ocean floor.
Ooze on the ocean floor is formed from the remains of which of these?
Ooze on the ocean floor is formed from the remains of marine organisms like phytoplankton and zooplankton, as well as shells and skeletons of marine animals. Over time, these organic materials accumulate and form sediment on the ocean floor.
What rocks would most likely be found on the ocean floor shale granite basalt or marble?
Basalt would most likely be found on the ocean floor, as it is a common igneous rock formed from the solidification of lava. Shale, granite, and marble are all less likely to be found on the ocean floor, as they are sedimentary and metamorphic rocks that are not typically formed in marine environments.
As new sea floor is formed high spots are formed what are they called?
High spots formed as new seafloor is created are known as seamounts or underwater mountains. These features are often formed by volcanic activity or tectonic movement along mid-ocean ridges. Seamounts can vary in size and shape, with some rising thousands of feet from the ocean floor.
How do strips of magnetized rock on the ocean floor provide evidence of sea-floor spreading?
Strips of ocean-floor basalt record the polarity of earth's magnetic field at the time the rock formed. These strips form a pattern that is the same on both sides of the mid-ocean ridge. the pattern shows that ocean floor forms along mid-ocean ridges and then moves away from the ridge.
