What else can I help you with?
Places where the seafloor is forced under continental plates?
The region where the seafloor is forced beneath the continental plate is called a subduction zone. When the seafloor descends down it produces a deep-ocean trench.
What is it called when watery clay soil slides down a mountain?
Landslide
What do you call a prism spreading out light into colors?
It is called Visible light Spectrum.
What do you call a scientist that studies underwater life?
Oceanologist or an Oceanographer. They could also be called a Marine Biologist.
What is the force that brings nearly everything to a stop also useful for mountain climbers and baseball players?
That force is called friction.
How do scientist explain the formation of underwater mountain ranges?
Underwater mountain ranges are often formed by tectonic plate movement, where plates spread apart and magma rises to create new crust. This process, called seafloor spreading, forms underwater mountain ranges like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Subduction zones, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, can also lead to the formation of underwater mountains.
How does the ocean floor move?
It is called Seafloor Spreading, which comes under the Divergent Plate Movement.
What is it called when mountain are in the middle of the seafloor?
atlantis island
What is the crack in the ocean floor through magma rises?
The crack in the ocean floor where magma rises is called a mid-ocean ridge. At these underwater mountain ranges, tectonic plates separate and magma rises to fill the gap, creating new oceanic crust. This process is known as seafloor spreading.
What is an underwater mountain chain formed where new crust is created by seafloor spreading called?
An underwater mountain chain formed where new crust is created by seafloor spreading is called a mid-ocean ridge. It is characterized by volcanic activity and the creation of new oceanic crust as tectonic plates move apart.
Who discovered Seafloor Spreading?
Henry H. hess
What is the system of cracks that form where the seafloor is spreading apart called?
The system of cracks that form where the seafloor is spreading apart is called a mid-ocean ridge. These cracks are also known as rift zones and are where magma rises to create new oceanic crust.
Process that forms new seafloor?
The process that forms new seafloor is called seafloor spreading. It occurs at mid-ocean ridges where new oceanic crust is created through volcanic activity. As magma rises and solidifies, it adds to the seafloor, pushing older crust away from the ridge and creating a continuous process of crust formation.
What is it called when two ocean plates move apart and new crust is formed?
Seafloor spreading
What is called a sea wave that is created when the seafloor slips after an underwater earthquake?
Its called a Tsunami, Japan just had one and was devastated!
How is seafloor spreading different continental drift?
seafloor spreading is when molten material rises and cools down and makes new seafloor, continental drift is the theory that the continents were once together and the big land mass is called Pangea.this is fake story no one believe it i got wrong
What is the name of a sea wave that is made when the seafloor slips after an underwater earthquake?
Tsunami, also called Kamikazis
