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.
What are three types of convergent boundary movements and formations?
1. Continent plate/sea floor plate subduction 2. sea floor plate/sea floor plate subduction 3. strike/slip movement
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.
What type of plate boundary would you find where the sea floor spreads?
A divergent plate boundary is where the sea floor spreads, such as along mid-ocean ridges. At these boundaries, tectonic plates move apart from each other, allowing magma to rise and create new crust.
What boundaries is sea floor created?
Convert boundary
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.
Which of the above boundaries is sea floor destroyed?
The destructive boundary where the sea floor is destroyed is called a subduction zone. In this type of boundary, one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate, causing the oceanic crust to be destroyed as it moves into the Earth's mantle. This process can lead to the formation of deep oceanic trenches and volcanic arcs.
What boundary type is sea floor spreading?
These ridges are spreading centers or divergent plate boundaries
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.
Sea floor is destroyed in which plate boundry?
The sea floor is destroyed in subduction zones, where one tectonic plate is pushed beneath another. This process is responsible for the destruction of oceanic crust and the formation of deep ocean trenches.

Where does new sea floor form?
It forms at the edges of Divergent Tectonic Plates; as opposed to the Earthquakes that are found at the Convergent Plate Boundaries [where one Plate subsides beneath the other Plate].
What plate is sea floor created?
the divergent plate boundary is the one that is sea floor created
How do magnetic reversals provide evidence of sea - floor spreading?
The presence of magnetic domains of alternating orientation parallel to the plate boundaries.
Is the Atlantic Ocean the site of 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
