When tectonic plates of more density and less density collide, what happens?

The plate that is more dense fractures.

The plate that is more dense rises.

The plate that is less dense subducts.

In Seafloor Spreading, molten material rises from the mantle and erupts or flows out

along the edges of all the continents

What discovery caused scientists to rethink Wegener's continental drift theory?

discovery of seafloor spreading in the Atlantic Ocean

discovery of earthquake activity in California

discovery of the ring of fire in the Pacific Ocean

discovery of deep trenches off the coast of South America

Investigation of seafloor spreading showed what about the age of the seafloor?

oldest seafloor is farthest from the ridge

the oldest seafloor is at the ridge

youngest seafloor is destroyed at the ridge

youngest seafloor is farthest from the ridge

___________ help explain why Earth is not getting any larger even though the tectonic plates are always moving.

subduction zones at ocean trenches

___________ help explain why Earth is not getting any larger even though the tectonic plates are always moving.

___________ help explain why Earth is not getting any larger even though the tectonic plates are always moving.

subduction zones at ocean trenches

What happens when Subduction occurs?

Parts of the crust fall into the mantle

Parts of the crust fall into the core

Parts of the crust fall into space

What is one piece of evidence of seafloor spreading?

scientist found pillow shaped rocks like pillows

scientist found animals at the bottom of the sea

mountain rocks crashed into the ocean

Why are the pillow shaped rocks found at the mid-Atlantic ridge evidence of volcanic activity?

They form only when molten materials cools quickly in deep cold water.

They form only when a volcano erupts above sea-level.

They only form in subduction zones where the crust is being squished into the mantle.

They form when the underwater race of aliens runs out of pillows for their beds and use giant mechanical robots to squeeze and puff out love from volcanoes. No.
