Brief Explanations

Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates move apart. Magma rises to fill the gap, creating new oceanic crust. Transform boundaries involve plates sliding past each other, and convergent boundaries involve plates colliding (subduction or mountain - building), neither of which is associated with seafloor spreading.
