BlakeNew oceanic lithosphere is able to form at mid-ocean ridges through the process of seafloor spreading. As tectonic plates move apart, magma rises from the mantle and solidifies to create new oceanic crust. This process contributes to the growth of the ocean basins and renewal of the Earth's lithosphere.

Was Wegener's continental drift hypothesis weakened because of viable mechanism for moving the continents was lacking?
