This explains what the land looks like by including elevations of land. It can be seen on a detailed map of the surface features of land. It includes the mountains, hills, creeks, ocean depths, seafloors, and other bumps and lumps on a particular hunk of earth.

Explain sea floor spreading.

• Sea floor spreading is the process of forming new oceanic crust at mid-ocean ridges and pushing older crust away.

• Sea floor spreading is the process of forming new continental crust at mid-ocean ridges and pushing older crust away.

• Sea floor spreading is the process of forming new oceanic crust at subduction zones and pulling older crust towards the continents.

• Sea floor spreading is the process of forming new oceanic crust at deep-sea trenches and pushing older crust towards the continents.

• Deep trenches formed along transform plate boundaries

What are the main differences between magma and lava?

• Lava is found in the Earth's mantle, while magma is found in the Earth's core.

• Magma is hotter than lava.

• Magma and lava are the same thing.

• Magma is beneath the Earth's surface, while lava reaches the Earth's surface.

What evidence supports the theory of sea floor spreading?

• Fossil records, ocean currents, and tides.

• Volcanic activity, earthquakes, and tsunamis.

• Different ages of rocks from different areas of the oceanic crust, changes found in magnetism of rocks found in the crust, and presence of mid-ocean ridges,.

• Weather patterns, climate change, and ocean salinity.

What is plate tectonics?

• The study of the Earth's atmosphere and weather patterns.
• The process of erosion and weathering of rocks.
• The study of the Earth's magnetic field and its effects on the planet.
• The scientific theory that describes the large-scale movement of Earth's crust.
