How do you use sea-floor spreading in a sentence?
The Super Continent was broken apart, in part by sea-floor spreading.Scientists discovered that sea-floor spreading continues to move the continents.Sea-floor spreading can be measured using specialized equipment.
Are divergent plate boundaries associated with folded mountains and deep sea trenches?
No. Sea floor trenches are found at convergent boundaries. divergen boundaries form mid-ocean ridges.
Another name for divergent boundaries that occur under the ocean is?
Sea floor spreading
What type of mountain forms from the magma that is created by sea-floor spreading?
A volcanic mountain forms from the magma that is created by sea-floor spreading. This magma rises to the surface and solidifies, creating a volcanic mountain range along the mid-ocean ridge where sea-floor spreading occurs.
Process in which new sea floor forms as older sea floor is pulled apart?
sea-floor spreading
What boundaries create the sea floor?
transform boundary
Where is sea floor crust created?
It was created on the sea floor.
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.
What is created at the bottom of the ocean because of sea floor speading?
Mid-oceanic ridges are created where sea floor spreading takes place. These are called divergent boundaries and mark places where new sea floor is being created. They are tectonically active regions and can be characterized by undersea vents where magma comes up and cools quickly because of its contact with very cold water.
What plate is sea floor created?
the divergent plate boundary is the one that is sea floor created

What would you call sea plates pulling away?
This would be called sea floor spreading, apparent at divergent boundaries.
What boundary type is sea floor spreading?
These ridges are spreading centers or divergent plate boundaries
At which of the above boundaries is sea floor destroyed?
Sea floor is destroyed at convergent boundaries where two tectonic plates collide. One plate is forced underneath the other in a process called subduction, leading to the destruction of the denser oceanic plate.
Is the Atlantic Ocean the site of a spreading plate boundaries?
Yes it is. It is home to the Mid-Atlantic ridge, a divergent plate boundary, where new crust (sea floor) is created. by your mom
