Which observation about the Mid-Atlantic Ridge region provides the best evidence that the seafloor has been spreading for millions of years?
the bedrock of the ridge and nearby seafloor is igneous rock

convection currents in the Asthenosphere
the gravity of the iron-nickel core.
the Moho discontinuity.
Observe this diagram of a plate boundary. One statement BEST describes what is happening. It is that
the oceanic crust is melting.
the denser ceanic crust is subducting under the less dense oceanic crust
volcanic islands are forming.
the tectonic plates are moving away from each other.
The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was caused by a shift in two plates that pushed one section of the sea floor under another section of the sea floor by 5 meters. What type of boundary is this?
divergent
convergent
transform
metamorphic
What is the source of energy that drives plate movement?
the subducton of the sea floor
the different densities of the oceanic and crustal plates
