Seafloor Spreading Lab with Makeup
... Elsewhere, one plate slides under another, or subducts, and deep ocean trenches are formed. Rock on the subducting plate becomes part of the asthenosphere. Oceanic crust is denser and thinner than continental crust, so all seafloor rock is eventually destroyed in this way. Thus, the oldest seafloor ...

... Life on Earth is possible because of the "Goldilocks effect": itʼs in just the right place (neither too close nor too far from the Sun) and is made of just the right stuff (water plus the six elements of which 95% of life consists). Everywhere on the planet that theyʼve looked, scientists have found ...

As the molten material cools, it forms a strip of solid rock in the center of the ridge. Then more molten material ...
