28 Απρ 2020 · Seafloor spreading helps create mid-ocean ridges, giant underwater mountain ranges that develop where tectonic activity is driving plates apart from each other. This lovely map highlights where tectonic plates are separating at mid-ocean ridges.

30 Ιουν 2012 · 1. The document discusses sea-floor spreading, which is the process where new oceanic crust forms at mid-ocean ridges as tectonic plates move away from each other. 2. Evidence that supports sea-floor spreading includes magnetic stripe patterns in the ocean floor and samples from ocean crust that show it is younger near ridges and older further ...
20 Νοε 2017 · 2) Evidence from seafloor spreading and magnetic stripes on the ocean floor support the theory of plate tectonics, where new ocean crust forms at mid-ocean ridges and spreads outward as the plates move.
26 Απρ 2024 · The theory of plate tectonics states that Earth’s solid outer crust, the lithosphere, is separated into plates that move over the asthenosphere, the molten upper portion of the mantle. Oceanic and continental plates come together, spread apart, and interact at boundaries all over the planet.

29 Νοε 2023 · Seafloor spreading is a geologic process in which tectonic plates —large slabs of Earth's lithosphere —split apart from each other. Seafloor spreading and other tectonic activity processes are the result of mantle convection. Mantle convection is the slow, churning motion of Earth’s mantle.
Evidence for Seafloor Spreading In 1960, Harry Hess studied Wegener’s theory. Hess proposed the radical idea that the ocean floors move like a conveyer belt , which in turn move the...
