10 seafloor spreading a hypothesis that states that there is a divergence in the seafloor caused by magma that is forced up through the crust out of the MOR, spreading out and creating new rock Plate Tectonics Vocab.
11 seafloor spreading the process by which molten material adds new oceanic crust Science11/07
12 Seafloor Spreading The process that creates new sea floor as plates move away from each other at the mid-ocean ridges Marine Biology Definitions
13 seafloor spreading pulling apart of plate boundaries under the ocean floor Science- Chapter 9
14 seafloor spreading when the ocean floor moves away from the ridge and is replaced by rsing magma that cools and solidified into new rock Science Midterm vocab words
15 seafloor spreading the prosses of which molten magma seeps up through the mid-ocean-ridge Earth and It's Plates
16 seafloor spreading the proces of wich magma seeps up though the mid ocean ridge Science stuff on Earth
17 seafloor spreading movemen of ocean floor moving away from midocean ridge Chapter 4 Science Terms
18 seafloor spreading New seafloor formed when magma is forced upward toward the surface at a mid-ocean ridge 8th Grade Science Semester 1 Review
19 seafloor spreading the process of producing new seafloor between two diverging plates earth science ch. 5
20 seafloor spreading process that forms new seafloor; spreading apart of the seafloor at the mid-ocean ridges 7th grade Sci-11

23 seafloor spreading ridges are formed along crakcs in crust, molten rock rises through these cracks, then cools and forms new oceanic crust flashcards for ch. 8 test
24 seafloor spreading hot, less dense material in the mantle is forced upways to the surface at the mid-ocean ridge, causes expansion Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Tectonic Plates
25 Seafloor Spreading The theory that the ocean floor grows on either side as the mid-ocean ridge moves apart. The rift created in this process is filled in with basalt as magma squeezes up into fractures created by rifting. Physical Science
