Does sea floor spreading occur at a convergent boundary?
No. Seafloor spreading occurs at a divergent boundary.
What did geologists of the late 1700's conclude about Earth's landforms?
that it caused sea floor spreading
What kind of boundary is sea floor spreading found?
spreading boundary
What happens when magma in the mantle heats up?
Lots of water will evaporate very fast and the mantle's compositions would harden and solidify to become part of a new sea floor. This is what scientists call 'sea-floor spreading'.
What is spreading in regards to geology?
Spreading is generally thought of when speaking of sea-floor spreading. Sea-floor spreading takes place at the mid-ocean ridge where two oceanic plates are spreading/pulling apart from one another.
Where does sea floor spreading occur?
Sea floor spreading occurs at mid-ocean ridges.
Why does continental drift occur?

What kind of boundary can sea floor spreading occur?
subducting

At what boundary does sea-floor spreading occur?
Consider. In sea-floor spreading, the plates are spreading apart; in other words diverging. So sea-floor spreading occurs at a divergent boundary,

It occurs in the oceanic crust!!!
In which layer do convection currents causing sea floor spreading occur?
mantle
Another name for divergent boundaries that occur under the ocean is?
