Seafloor Spreading as a Mechanism
Seafloor Spreading as a Mechanism is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 2: Divergent Boundaries in Amplify Science (California) Grade 7.
Key Concepts
The process at divergent boundaries creates a conveyor belt effect known as seafloor spreading . As new rock forms at the boundary, it pushes the older rock outward.
This confirms that the mantle is the source of new plate material. The rising and hardening of the mantle not only fills the gap but actively contributes to the movement of the plates, forcing them further apart.
