5th Grade Seafloor Spreading Question

What is seafloor spreading and how does it support the theory of continental drift?

What is seafloor spreading and how does it support the theory of continental drift?

5th Grade Seafloor Spreading Answer

5th Grade Seafloor Spreading Answer

Happens at the ocean ridges; magma pushes through Earth’s crust and cools, forming new crust; then more magma pushes up and pushes the new and old crust aside

Rows of magnetism on the ocean floor show that rock has been spreading on the ocean floor

1,000,000 Answer 1,000,000 Answer

Plates get caught when they are sliding by each other; pressure builds until the pressure becomes too great; rocks suddenly move and cause an earthquake

One plate sinks below another at a boundary, the sinking crust melts to magma; when the crust cannot withstand the pressure; magma explodes as a volcano
