Seafloor spreading produces new oceanic crust at mid‑ocean ridges and causes ocean basins to widen. Secondary results include:
- symmetric magnetic stripe patterns on either side of the ridge (recording geomagnetic reversals),
- progressively older ocean floor with increasing distance from the ridge,
- basaltic volcanic activity and shallow earthquakes along the ridge.
