Which forms at mid-ocean ridges?
New oceanic crust is created along mid ocean ridges. These are areas of the earth where there is divergence or splitting of the ocean floor and basaltic magma oozes out from within the mantle to occupy the gaps and form new crusts.
Does continental drift show that the ocean floor is always stable?
Well, it depends. If you mean from the iceage movie, then no, that movie was ustable because it was innacurate and very fake. But if you mean by earth, I think that you are trying to get answers for your homework, yes? Well, the answer is mabye
What does it mean to have rocks srcattered along a valley floor?
Having rocks scattered along a valley floor typically indicates past geological processes such as erosion, glaciation, or rock falls. These rocks may have been transported by glaciers or rivers and left behind as the landscape evolved. The distribution of rocks can provide insights into the history and formation of the valley.
What does ocean earthquake mean?
An ocean earthquake, also known as a submarine earthquake, is an earthquake that occurs beneath the ocean floor. These earthquakes can generate tsunamis due to the displacement of large volumes of water, posing a threat to coastal areas. Detection and monitoring of these events are crucial for early warning systems to mitigate potential impacts.
What does it mean when the floor is called a "floating laminate floor"?
It means that the floor is not glued or nailed down to the subflooring surface. anonymous@oola.com
Are there pictures of the floor of the ocean?
at what point of the ocean did you mean because its quite big
What is a good sentence for sea floor spreading?
Sea floor spreading mean the process by which molten material adds new oceanic crust to the ocean floor
What does ocean sea floor mean?
The ocean sea floor refers to the bottom surface of the ocean, which can range from continental shelves to deep ocean basins. It is made up of a variety of features such as abyssal plains, trenches, seamounts, and mid-ocean ridges, and plays a crucial role in oceanic processes and ecosystems.
How does the ocean floor and the center slit differ on the side slit?
By center slit I assume that you mean a mid ocean ridge which is a divergent boundary and the sea floor is very young there. Then be side slit I am assuming that you mean a trench which is a convergent boundary or subduction zone which would be the oldest part of the sea floor.

What would happen to Earth if ocean floor were created at divergent boundaries at a faster rate than it is destroyed at convergent boundaries?
Basically cataclysm. Because of the rapid changes in the earths level, im guessing you mean. Would mean that there would be too much ocean floor, and the cause would be if you meant the Earth would happen, well not much just we would lose a lot of water from the ocean.
Why is the ocean not flat?
Do you mean the surface of the ocean or the ocean floor? Waves, which dominate the surface of the ocean, are generated by atmospheric winds that transfer their energy to the upper layers of the ocean. The weather which generates these winds is driven by differential heating of different portions of the earth, which creates area of low and high pressure. Areas of differential heating are reinforced as upper latitudes receive less solar energy than lower latitudes leading to consistent presence of areas of high and low pressure, and thus consistent winds and consistent waves. The ocean floor is not flat as tectonic forces drive oceanic plates apart from each other and into continental plates. Areas where ocean plates are being spread apart results in mid-ocean ridges and occasionally result in islands that emerge to the surface e.g. Iceland. Areas where oceanic plates hit continental plates are called 'subduction zones.' These subduction zones contain deep ocean trenches where the lowest points on the surface of the earth are located. These subduction zones are also where some of the world's largest earthquakes occur. Hope this answers your question!
What does veranda mean?
a roofed platform along the outside of a house, level with the ground floor
Name the states that lie along the Pacific Ocean?
Assuming that you mean American states, Wahington, Oregon, California
What does mudflat mean?
Areas of wet land that are covered by the sea at high tide(when it is at its highest level).
Why does the sea mean?
The word 'sea' refers to the water that covers the greater part of the Earth's surface, one of the smallest areas of an ocean
