Where do new sections of crust come from during seafloor spreading?

Geography
1 answer:
VashaNatasha [74]2 years ago
5 0

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.

Explanation:

Usually the age of formations of a rock is categorized in a geologic time scale.

The correct sequence from bottom to top is the relative time dating. The Relative dating shows rock ages in their order of occurrence (from Bottom to Top).

These are examples of relative dating sequence:

  • Crosscutting Relationships,
  • Sequence from bottom to top,
  • Inclusions,
  • Faunal Succession.
