Answer:

Seafloor spreading helps explain continental drift in the theory of plate tectonics. When oceanic plates diverge, tensional stress causes fractures to occur in the lithosphere. At a spreading center, basaltic magma rises up the fractures and cools on the ocean floor to form new seabed.

Explanation:

Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries. As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle's convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense. The less-dense material rises, often forming a mountain or elevated area of the seafloor. Eventually, the crust cracks.

What causes a land breeze at the beach?
Mnenie [13.5K]

Sea breeze and land breeze.

When sea is cooler than land, the wind blows the cool air up to the land, which on a beach has no structures to stop it, thus, it's cold.

Opposite works for land breeze.
