PLATE TECTONIC SEAFLOOR SPREADING CONVECTION CURRENT
THEORY -Rise up towards the crust’s surface,
tectonic plates move away from each other
-seafloor spreading occurs at divergent
in a process known as seafloor spreading
plate boundaries. As tectonic plates slowly
move away from each other, heat from the
mantle’s convection currents makes the
crust more plastic and less dense.
