What else can I help you with?
What happens after magma erupts along mid ocean?
The magma spills over the ridge and pushes the old sea floor away toward a subduction zone where the old sea floor melts.
What is an ocean thermal vent?
It is a place where volcanism or hot water heated by the underlying magma erupts on the ocean floor.
What erupts through the valley of the mid ocean rig?
Magma erupts along mid ocean ridges forming new ocean floor. Mid ocean ridges are found at divergent boundaries where two ocean plates are pushing apart.
What happens to the ocean floor farther to the oceanic lithosphere is from a mid ocean ridge?
Magma rises and slidifies and creates a new crust.
What happens to the ocean floor the farther the the oceanic lithosphere is from a mid-ocean ridge?
Magma rises and slidifies and creates a new crust.
What happens to the ocean floor the farther the oceanic lithosphere is from the mid ocean ridge?
Magma rises and slidifies and creates a new crust.

Magma rises and slidifies and creates a new crust.
In sea-floor spreadingmolten material rises from the mantle and erupts where?
In sea-floor spreading, molten material rises from the mantle and erupts at mid-ocean ridges. This process creates new oceanic crust as the magma cools and solidifies upon reaching the ocean floor. As tectonic plates move apart, the continuous addition of new material pushes older crust away from the ridge, contributing to the expansion of the ocean basin.
What is the theory that occurs when magma is pushed upward and flows through the openings in the ocean floor?
this usually happens when the sea floor spreads open.
Hardens to form new rock at mid-ocean ridges?
Sea- Floor Spreading molten material erupts through the valley that runs along the center of some mid-ocean ridges. This material hardens to form the rock of the ocean floor. Mid-ocean ridges an undersea mountain chain where new ocean floor is produced.
What happens when magma pouring through a rift onto the ocean floor?
When magma pours through a rift onto the ocean floor, it can create new oceanic crust through the process of seafloor spreading. This can lead to the formation of mid-ocean ridges. Additionally, the contact between the hot magma and the ocean water can result in explosive volcanic eruptions and the release of gases and minerals into the ocean.
In sea floor spreading molten material rises from the mantle and erupts along what?
In sea floor spreading, molten material rises from the mantle and erupts along mid-ocean ridges. These underwater mountain ranges serve as the sites where tectonic plates diverge, allowing magma to flow up and solidify, creating new oceanic crust. As this process continues, it pushes older crust away from the ridge, gradually expanding the ocean floor.
