It would be letter C - <span>New oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges, pushed away from the ridge, and destroyed at deep-sea trenches. 
</span>
Seafloor spreading happens in the "mid-ocean ridges".  In fact, the meaning of Seafloor spreading is that it is a process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is developed through volcanic activity and then slowly moves apart from the ridge.<span>

Answer:

The answer is option C.

Explanation:

New maritime hull is shaped at mid-sea edges, pushed far from the edge, and wrecked at remote ocean trenches.  Ocean bottom spreading occurs in the "mid-sea ridges".  truth be told, the significance of Seafloor spreading is that it is a procedure that happens at mid-sea edges, where new maritime hull is created through volcanic action and afterward gradually moves separated from the edge.

PLZ HURY ON A TIMER Which statements explain what happens at deep-ocean trenches? Check all that apply.
Marat540 [252]
The answer are: mountains are formed, crust become molten rock and denser plates slides under lighter plates.

Let's look into the options one by one:

Crust is formed.

-This is in correct.

-At the ocean trench, plates subducts and were destroyed. No process of construction occurs as it is located at a destructive plate boundary.

Mountains are formed.

- This is correct.

- As it is located in the destructive plate bondary, two plates collide and create compressional force. The lighter continential will be compressed and foldes up to form fold mountains. One of the examples is the Rocky Mountain.

Seafloor spreading occurs.

-This is incorrect.

- Seafloor spreading occurs at constructive plate boundaries, however ocean trench occurs at destructive plate boudary and thus seafloor spreading does not take place.

Crust becomes molten rock.

- This is correct.

- When ocean trench is formed, denser oceanic plate subducts under the less dense continental plate and meets the hot magma. The crust material will then melt under high temperature and become molten rock.

Denser plates slide under lighter plates.

- This is correct.

- At deep ocean trenches, denser oceanic plate slide under the lighter continential plate as it is located the destructive plate boundary.

It might not be on time, but I hope it helps explain the question. :)

How do volcanic mountains form?
faltersainse [42]
<span>B. 
Lava, ash, and other materials from volcanic eruptions gradually build up over time. This is the correct answer. The volcanic molten material is ejected from fissures or initial cones and as the lava flows out and cools and as the pyroclastic materials solidify and tumble down the slopes, they build up the flanks of the volcanoes.</span>
