What else can I help you with?
The ocean floor is spreading due to .?
divergent plate movement
What are magnetic strips on the sea floor caused by?
Movement of the ocean crust
What are Isolated volcanic peaks on the ocean floor known as?
Isolated volcanic peaks on the ocean floor are known as seamounts. The deepest parts of the ocean are long, narrow features known as deep ocean trenches.
Are there mountains ridges valleys and plains on the ocean floor?
Yes, the ocean floor can have mountain ridges, valleys, and plains. Mountain ridges are formed by tectonic activity, valleys may be created by the movement of tectonic plates, and plains can result from sedimentation and volcanic activity. These features are important in shaping the ocean floor's topography.
As new sea floor is formed high spots are formed what are they called?
High spots formed as new seafloor is created are known as seamounts or underwater mountains. These features are often formed by volcanic activity or tectonic movement along mid-ocean ridges. Seamounts can vary in size and shape, with some rising thousands of feet from the ocean floor.
The movement of the ocean floor on either side of a midocean ridge is best known as?
it is known as sea floor spreading. this is when the oceanic plates diverge or move apart which causes the magma from the mantle to rise forming new sea floor.
What ocean floor feature is formed by movement of earths plate?
what other ocean floor feature is fromed by movement of earth's plates
What other ocean floor feature is formed by movement of Earth's plates?
what other ocean floor feature is fromed by movement of earth's plates
What is the outer movement of the ocean floor?
waves, spreading
The ocean floor is spreading due to .?

Why is the ocean floor lower as you move away from the mid-ocan ridges?
The mid-ocean ridges which wrap around the ocean floor like the seam of a baseball, are high topographic features-but as you go away from either side of a ridge, the ocean floor subsides as it cools.
What is a spotted seahorse habitat?
seaweed or the ocean floor, same either way
What pattern of polarity was found on the ocean floor?
The polarities were mirror images on either side of the mid-ocean ridge.
