What else can I help you with?
Rock on the ocean floor provided the final proof of sea -floor spreading with a record of?
Pangaea probably?
Where does the oldest rock take place at on the ocean floor in sea-floor spreading?
Far from the mid oceanic ridge, near the continental margin (oldest oceanic rock ages 200 mya)
What type igneous rock makes up most of the ocean floor?
Basalt
Iron rich volcanic rock that makes up much of the ocean floor is?
Basalt is the iron-rich volcanic rock that makes up much of the ocean floor. It forms from the cooling and solidification of magma that erupts through underwater volcanic activity, such as mid-ocean ridges. Basalt is a key component of Earth's oceanic crust.
What s at the bottom of the earth?
We know that the sea floor is composed of old basaltic rock called SIMA . The sea floor mostly contains sand (which came from a continent ) , some marine sediment, continental sediment and some types of sediment . We also get some resources from the sea floor, like petroleum, and some marine resources, but then again the sea floor is the least explored thing on our planet. Answer: You can also find starfish at the bottom of the sea floor. Along with seaweed and other plants that grow on the sea floor.
Where does new rock form on the floor?
Forms by lava from volcanoes on the sea floor
What happens to the old ocean floor as the sea floor spreads?
As the sea floor spreads, the old ocean floor gets pushed out, which makes the plates move.
Rock on the ocean floor provided the final proof of sea -floor spreading with a record of?
Pangaea probably?
A rock that makes up much of the ocean floor?
basalt
What makes us think that Iceland is part of the sea floor?
because we are idiots
The crust of the sea floor is essentially composed of?
Oceanic crust is primarily composed of the rock basalt.
What is the process that creates new ocean crust to form molten rock?
Sea Floor Spreading
What is the description of a sea-cactus?
It is like a cactus you find in deserts ,but its smaller and round and grow in groups and on the ocean floor or on a rock on the ocean floor.
How do sea otters eat sea urchins?
Sea Otters find sea urchins on the ocean floor and break it open with a rock. It will then eat everything except the spines (the insides).

Far from the mid oceanic ridge, near the continental margin (oldest oceanic rock ages 200 mya)
What type igneous rock makes up most of the ocean floor?

Explain the process by which new sea floor forms at mid ocean ridges?
as it spread away from a mid-ocean ridge, the sea floor carries with it a record or magnetic reversals. i hope this answer would be correct :) also, when the magma rises through fractures in the sea floor at the mid-ocean ridge, the magma cools and forms new rocks. this new rock takes place of the old rock and the old rock gets pulled away.
