The Theory of Plate Tectonics states that
as the seafloor spreads new oceanic crust is formed
Earth's surface consists of plates that move relative to one another
Earth used to be one supercontinent called Pangaea
What is Seafloor Spreading?
The hypothesis that continents are in constant motion on the surface of the Earth.
The idea that all the continents were once part of a supercontinent called Pangaea.
When magma erupts through a mid-ocean ridge, cools, and crystalizes.

How do geologists classify rocks?
Based on how they form.
Based on where they are found.
Based on their density.
Based on their mass.
