Seafloor spreading is explained below:
- Seafloor spreading is a geological process that is responsible for the continuous formation of oceanic crust in mid-oceanic ridges.
- The old oceanic crust moves away from the ridge due to the continuous formation of the new oceanic crust as a result of volcanic activities at divergent plate boundaries. This process is called seafloor spreading.
- An example of seafloor spreading is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
