Seafloor Spreading

A process occurring at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity and then gradually moves away from the ridge.

Youngest Oceanic Crust

The most recently formed areas of the ocean floor, typically found at mid-ocean ridges where tectonic plates are diverging and new crust is being created by volcanic activity.

Subduction

Subduction is the process by which one tectonic plate moves under another, descending into the mantle, often leading to volcanic activity and earthquakes.

Youngest Oceanic Crust

The most recently formed areas of the ocean floor, typically located at mid-ocean ridges where tectonic plates are diverging.
