What else can I help you with?
Divergent Boundaries are also called?
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.
What do volcanic belts form along on?
Both subduction zones and spreading centers.
What magma is the most abundant type erupted at oceanic spreading centers?
Basaltic magma is the most abundant type erupted at oceanic spreading centers. It is low in silica content and flows easily due to its low viscosity, allowing it to create the characteristic volcanic features seen at mid-ocean ridges.
What is the approximate rate of seafloor spreading per kilometer?
Seafloor spreading occurs at an average rate of about 2.5 centimeters per year, which translates to approximately 25 kilometers per million years. This rate can vary depending on the location and tectonic plate interactions, with some mid-ocean ridges spreading faster or slower. Overall, the average rate is generally consistent across the majority of oceanic spreading centers.

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
Where are most seafloor spreading centers located?
It is the mid-ocean ridges.
What is spreading centers?
It is a center at the bottom of the ocean that occurs at mid-ocean ridges
What do volcanic belts form along on?
Both subduction zones and spreading centers.
What type of boundary occurs mostly at the mid-ocean ridge?
spreading centers
What type of boundary occurs mostly at the mid ocean ridge?
spreading centers
What type of boundary is sea flooring?
These ridges are spreading centers or divergent plate boundaries
What magma is the most abundant type erupted oceanic spreading centers?
Basaltic/mafic lava.
Where is the greatest sediment thickness on the ocean floor?
Near the trenches, or in the seafloor furthest away from spreading centers.
