What types of volcanoes are formed at spreading centers?
Volcanoes at spreading centers is referred to as spreading center volcanism. This usually takes place on mid-oceanic ridges where the plates diverge.
Do earthquakes and volcanism affect each others plates?
yes they do if they occur in the same area.
What is the difference in spreading center earthquakes and subduction zone?
Spreading center earthquakes are always shallow, subduction zone earthquakes can be very deep.Spreading center earthquakes are typically of lower magnitude than subduction zone earthquakes.
What happens to the age of the rocks of the sea floor as you travel from a spreading center towards a coast line?
As you travel from a spreading center towards a coastline, the age of the sea floor rocks increases. Newly formed rocks at the spreading center are younger, while older rocks are found further away from the center, as they have been pushed away over time by the continuous process of seafloor spreading. This results in a pattern where the youngest rocks are closest to the ridge, and the oldest are nearer to the continental margins.
What type of volcanism occurs underwater along the mid-oceanic ridge?
Rift volcanism.
What types of volcanoes are formed at spreading centers?
Volcanoes at spreading centers is referred to as spreading center volcanism. This usually takes place on mid-oceanic ridges where the plates diverge.
Is it true or false volcanism occurs on planets whose interiors have completely cooled?
Volcanism can only occur on planets with a liquid mantle.
How does a volcano occur in the middle of a continental or oceanic plate?
Intraplate volcanism.
Characterized by basaltic volcanism and seafloor spreading?
This description is often associated with mid-ocean ridges where new oceanic crust is formed through seafloor spreading, creating basaltic volcanism. These ridges are areas of tectonic activity where magma rises to the surface, solidifying into basaltic rocks.
At what boundary does sea-floor spreading occur?
Consider. In sea-floor spreading, the plates are spreading apart; in other words diverging. So sea-floor spreading occurs at a divergent boundary,
Do earthquakes and volcanism affect each others plates?
yes they do if they occur in the same area.
Which type of plate boundary does rift volcanism occur?
Divergent plate boundaries n_n ;*
What is a spreading center on the ocean floor?
sea floor-spreading..;)
Where does most volcanism on planet Earth occur?
I'm not 100% sure, but I believe it is probably Hawaii.
Name one spreading center?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a spreading center located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
What a spreading center and what is made at one?
Sea floor spreading 2 oceanic plates coming apart
What kind of boundary can sea floor spreading occur?
subducting
