Seafloor spreading is caused by diverging plates.

Seafloor spreading is a process in which tectonic plates (large irregularly shaped slabs of solid rock that is usually made up of both continental and oceanic lithosphere) move and separate apart from each other. Seafloor spreading is the result of mantle convection and it takes place at mid-ocean ridges, where there is formation of new oceanic crust through volcanic activity.

Which rocky intertidal zone, also called the super tidal zone, is only covered by water during strong storms?
Alex777 [14]

spray zone is the  rocky intertidal zone, also called the super tidal zone, is only covered by water during strong storms.

The topmost region where the marine ecology and terrestrial ecosystem converge is known as the Spray Zone. It is a transitional area, and the breadth and height vary from one location to the next. In the image above, a rock with a few weakly growing terrestrial plants meets a pine forest. The water is close to the bottom of the grey rock wall.

The organisms that dwell in the Spray Zone must be resilient to desiccation (drying out), salt spray, wind, and sporadic surf action. The terrestrial plants that you can see growing between the pine forest and the rock can withstand salt and set roots in fissures and fractures where soil has been trapped and stabilized. Low species diversity can be seen in this area. Do you recall the dominant organism in the spray zone? Let's get to know this plant, hint.

Select all that apply Strike-slip zones ______. Multiple select question. may lie totally within a tectonic plate are created du
bonufazy [111]

Strike-slip zones lie within the tectonic plates, separate the two plates as continental or oceanic, and created large shear zones.

<h3>What are tectonic plates?</h3>

Tectonic plates are found in the crust of the Earth mainly in the lithospheric region.

When the vertical zones shifted the two blocks to the horizontal direction in parallel by hitting the fault zone, then the created zone is called a Strike-slip zone. It is usually formed between the oceanic and continental plates under the surface of Earth by forming large shear openings.

Therefore, the explanation provided in options A, C, and E relates to the formation of Strike-slip zones.
