Question
6/10
what does the process of seafloor spreading involve?
glaciers moving the seafloor
sun causing thermal expansion of the seabed
magma pushing oceanic crust apart
continents moving due to wind
Brief Explanations
Seafloor spreading is a geological process driven by mantle convection. Molten magma rises from the mantle at mid-ocean ridges, then pushes the existing oceanic tectonic crust outward, creating new seafloor as it cools and solidifies. The other options do not describe this core mechanism.
