What else can I help you with?
Which force is responsible for seafloor spreading?
Gravity in the oceanic crust is responsible for seafloor spreading.
What is this is the process of creating new oceanic crust?
Sea floor spreading
Is crust created or destroyed at the oceanic ridge?
Crust is created at oceanic ridges through volcanic activity where magma rises from the mantle and solidifies to form new oceanic crust. This process is known as seafloor spreading.
What happens to the old oceanic crust as new molten material rises from the mantle?
The older oceanic crust moves away from the spreading center and is eventualy subducted back into the mantle.
Is oceanic crust slide under oceanic crust during subduction?
Yes, oceanic crust can slide under oceanic crust during subduction at convergent plate boundaries. This process occurs when a more dense oceanic plate descends beneath another oceanic plate, leading to the formation of a subduction zone.
In earths crust What type of rock is found under the oceans?
Oceanic crust, new oceanic crust is produced by seafloor spreading.
Is new oceanic crust formed at mid-ocean ridges?
Yes, the process that creates oceanic crust on a mid-ocean ridge is called "seafloor spreading". seafloor spreading creates a new oceanic crust that forms on the mid-ocean ridge.
Which force is responsible for seafloor spreading?
Gravity in the oceanic crust is responsible for seafloor spreading.
What is this is the process of creating new oceanic crust?
Sea floor spreading
Which layers of the earth are involved in sea-floor spreading?
Oceanic crust
Is ocean crust formed at a mid ocean ridge?
Yes, the process that creates oceanic crust on a mid-ocean ridge is called "seafloor spreading". seafloor spreading creates a new oceanic crust that forms on the mid-ocean ridge.
Is crust created or destroyed at the oceanic ridge?
Crust is created at oceanic ridges through volcanic activity where magma rises from the mantle and solidifies to form new oceanic crust. This process is known as seafloor spreading.
Oceanic crust slides under continental crust during subduction because oceanic crust is?
denser
Does sea-floor spreading occur in oceans only?
It occurs in the oceanic crust!!!
How does new oceanic crust from at a divergent plate boundary?
Sea-Floor Spreading is your answer.
What happens to old oceanic crust as new molten material from the mantle?
The older oceanic crust moves away from the spreading center and is eventualy subducted back into the mantle.
What happens to old oceanic crust as molten materials rises from the mantle?
The older oceanic crust moves away from the spreading center and is eventualy subducted back into the mantle.
