Earth Structure and Plate Tectonics - The Breakthrough: From Seafloor Spreading to Plate Techtonics
3 important questions on Earth Structure and Plate Tectonics - The Breakthrough: From Seafloor Spreading to Plate Techtonics
What are convection currents?
What was the new hypothesis called 'seafloor spreading'?
How is plate movement caused?
- Plates form and slide off the raised ridges of the spreading centers.
- Plates are pulled downward into the mantle by their cool, dens leading edges, also by gravity.
