Question

What is seafloor spreading theory?

Answer 1

sea floor spreading helps explain Continental drift in the theory of plate tectonics when oceanic plates diverge ,tensional stress causes fractures to occur in the lithosphere....at the spreading center ,basaltic magma rises up the fractures and cools on the ocean floor to form new sea bed.

hope it help you......
