The Race Is On with Seafloor Spreading!
... Seafloor spreading is one component of the theory of plate tectonics. At mid-ocean ridges in many of the world’s oceans, new seafloor rock is added to the edges of plates on either side of the ridge. We find the youngest seafloor rocks near these ridges, where new seafloor is constantly added. As yo ...
