What did scientists observe in the ocean floor which indicates that the Pacific Ocean is becoming smaller? (1 point)
• plates floating on the mantle
O subduction
• continental drift
• spreading
• plates floating on the mantle
O subduction
• continental drift
• spreading
The correct answer is: O subduction.
Scientists observed subduction in the ocean floor as evidence that the Pacific Ocean is becoming smaller. Subduction is the process by which one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate, typically in a subduction zone. In the case of the Pacific Ocean, the Pacific Plate is being subducted beneath other plates, leading to the shrinkage of the ocean.
