Occurs at divergent boundaries and creates new seafloor
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
The answer is seafloor spreading. It is a progression that happens at mid-ocean ridges which are the divergent boundaries, where new oceanic crust is made through volcanic activity and then slowly moves away from the ridge. This helps clarify the continental drift theory in the plate tectonics theory.
