Seafloor spreading is a process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity and then gradually moves away from the ridge. Seafloor spreading helps explain continental drift in the theory of plate tectonics.

Answer:

Seafloor spreading is a geological process that occurs in the ocean. It is occurs due to divergent plate tectonics. As, lithospheric plates of the ocean moves away from each other, the heat from the mantle liberates as convection currents that decreases the density of the crust. The less dense material rises, resulting the elevation of the seafloor, which is called as sea floor spreading.

How infections can be avoided
KonstantinChe [14]
Start with washing hands. That is a big deal when it comes to any sickness or infection inside the body or outside.
(Is the infection on the inside of outside?)
Inside: eat healthy. Stay clean. Don’t put anything in your mouth that doesn’t belong. Wash your hands. Don’t touch your eyes, ears, nose, or mouth without clean hands.
Outside: keep the potential infected area clean. Don’t get dirt or anything in it and don’t let anything touch it. Keep it covered and clean. Leave it uncovered to dry out if wet. Clean with alcohol/peroxide. Keep covered with a clean bandage, changed every few hours.
