How did the new seafloor form at the middle of the model which is the Mid oceanic Ridge?
Mid-ocean ridges occur along divergent plate boundaries, where new ocean floor is created as the Earth’s tectonic plates spread apart. As the plates separate, molten rock rises to the seafloor, producing enormous volcanic eruptions of basalt.
What features on the seafloor are comparable to slits a and c what is happening at slits A and C?
Ocean trenches are comparable to slits A and C. The old sea floor is sinking into Earths interior a slits A and C.
What features of the ocean floor does the center slit represent?
The center slit represents a Mid-Ocean Ridge 2. The strips of paper represent oceanic crust or seafloor.
Where is the Mid Oceanic Ridge located?
Atlantic Ocean
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a mid-ocean ridge (a divergent or constructive plate boundary) located along the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, and part of the longest mountain range in the world.
What parts of your model represent the mid-ocean ridge?
center slit
The center slit represents a Mid-Ocean Ridge 2. The strips of paper represent oceanic crust or seafloor. 3. The oldest sections should be the sections on both sides furthest from the middle 4.
What is happening at slits A and C What features occur at corresponding location on the sea floor?
What features occur at corresponding locations on the seafloor? The oldest ocean floor collides with the continental crust. The more dense oceanic crust sinks back into the mantle and is being recycled. The feature that occurs at Slit A and C is a subduction zone or deep ocean trench.
What process is shown occurring at C and why does it occur?
What process is shown occurring at point C and why does it occur? The process is called subduction. Deep-ocean trenches. Subduction is the process where the ocean floor sinks beneath a deep-ocean trench and back into the mantle.
What part of the Earth do the paper strips represent?
oceanic crust
The strips of paper represent oceanic crust or seafloor.
