Mid-Ocean Ridges (MOR)Mid Ocean Ridges: submarine mountain ranges found near the center of the world’s oceans; site of sea-floor spreading, divergent motion, and newly created oceanic basaltic crust.

Seafloor Spreading http://geomaps.wr.usgs.gov/parks/animate/A48.gif
Seafloor Spreading: the process by which the seafloor moves apart along both sides of the mid-ocean ridge as new crust is being added. As a result, the ocean floor moves like a conveyor belt, carrying the continents along with them.

Evidence for Seafloor Spreading1] Eruption of molten pillow lavas and smokers (videos): repeatedly occur along the mid oceanic ridge

2] Magnetic Polarity Reversals (videos): Earth’s magnetic field reversals are recorded in ocean crustal rocks and the magnetized stripe patterns are the same on both sides of the ridge.

3] Ages of the rocks: youngest at the ridge and the farther away from the ridge, the older the rocks are.

Subduction (video)Subduction: the process by which the basaltic ocean crust (heavy, dense) sinks beneath the deep oceanic trench and back into the Mantle.
Trench: deep underwater canyons; site of convergent plate boundaries.
