Question 8 • RMA FL-2001310-Earth/Space Science Semester 2
Seafloor spreading continually forms new oceanic crust as magma rises and cools at mid-ocean ridges. That crust moves away from the ridge and is eventually recycled into the mantle at subduction zones, making the process cyclic. So the statement “New oceanic crust is created” describes seafloor spreading.
