Mantle convection is the slow churning of the earth’s mantle which takes places beneath the earth's surface. https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-happens-during-the-process-of-seafloor-spreading.html]]> 2019-09-06 18:26:13 UTC https://padlet.com/raymundovazquez/j3k99vybq8ea/wish/381060162 raymundovazquez https://padlet.com/raymundovazquez/j3k99vybq8ea/wish/381062571 New ridges are formed and as tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle's convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense. The less-dense material rises, often forming a mountain or elevated area of the seafloor. https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/seafloor-spreading/]]> 2019-09-06 18:30:39 UTC https://padlet.com/raymundovazquez/j3k99vybq8ea/wish/381062571 raymundovazquez https://padlet.com/raymundovazquez/j3k99vybq8ea/wish/381069100 The East Africa rift. A rift, a narrow zone, is a developing divergent tectonic plate boundary where the African plate is in the process of splitting into two tectonic plates, called the Somali plate and the Nubian plate As extension continues, lithospheric rupture will occur within 10 million years; the Somali Plate will break off and a new ocean basin will form. https://geology.com/articles/east-africa-rift.shtml]]> 2019-09-06 18:43:46 UTC https://padlet.com/raymundovazquez/j3k99vybq8ea/wish/381069100 raymundovazquez https://padlet.com/raymundovazquez/j3k99vybq8ea/wish/389666149 Seafloor spreading helps explain continental in the theory of plate tectonics. When oceanic plates diverge, tensional stress causes fractures to occur in the lithosphere. ... At a spreading center center, basaltic magma rises up the fractures and cools on the ocean floor to form new seabed.]]> 2019-09-25 18:22:01 UTC https://padlet.com/raymundovazquez/j3k99vybq8ea/wish/389666149 raymundovazquez https://padlet.com/raymundovazquez/j3k99vybq8ea/wish/389681772 2019-09-25 18:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/raymundovazquez/j3k99vybq8ea/wish/389681772 raymundovazquez https://padlet.com/raymundovazquez/j3k99vybq8ea/wish/389683328 2019-09-25 18:47:53 UTC https://padlet.com/raymundovazquez/j3k99vybq8ea/wish/389683328 raymundovazquez https://padlet.com/raymundovazquez/j3k99vybq8ea/wish/389683834 2019-09-25 18:48:39 UTC https://padlet.com/raymundovazquez/j3k99vybq8ea/wish/389683834 raymundovazquez https://padlet.com/raymundovazquez/j3k99vybq8ea/wish/389686064 Mantle convection: is the slow churning of the earth’s mantle which takes places beneath the earth's surface.
