Is a seismograph used to record the ocean floor for rift zones?
no
What is a canyon on the ocean floor which the crust is bent downwards?

Why is the Atlantic Ocean continuously expending?
There is a rift down the center that pushes the ocean floor outward, expanding the ocean continuously. The rift is life a long volcano spewing out lava.
What geological feature can be found at the mid ocean ridge?

What is the floor of the ocean called?

Do divergent plate boundaries only occur on the ocean floor?
No, divergent plate boundaries can occur both on the ocean floor and on land. When they occur on the ocean floor, they create mid-ocean ridges, while on land they can create rift valleys.
The primary source that causes the seafloor to spread and continents to drift?
In the middle of the ocean is a rift where the ocean floor squeezes out lava and pushes the ocean plates apart.
What is the difference between an ocean a sea and the sea channel?
geologically speaking,an ocean has a rift system which works on expanding the ocean floor, while a sea has no rift system,the size is constant. the red sea can be considered an expanding ocean,yet it is called a sea because of its small size compared with the Atlantic ocean which has an expanding mid ocean rift system that runs north to south and surfaces in iceland.
