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

Geography
1 answer:
VashaNatasha [74]3 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.

What is a cataract how did they contribute to the survival of the ancient Egyptian civilization
KengaRu [80]
A cataract is an area of a river where the elevation of the streambed changes too quickly or has to many boulders meaning people couldn't use part of the river as transportation.

This was a good thing because the cataracts effectively served as barriers so they could control travel. This meant that the Pharos found it impossible to control the land south of the first cataract. This ending up becoming the southern border of Ancient Egypt.

Hope this helped ☺️
