A)

Question

How does plate tectonics account for new geological processes on the seafloor?
(1 point)
The converging and diverging of the plates expose magma which cools and causes seafloor
spreading.
The contracting and expanding of the plates expose magma which cools and causes seafloor
spreading.
The converging and diverging of the plates expose magma which heats the water and causes
turnover.
The contracting and expanding of the plates expose magma which heats the water and causes
turnover.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

The converging and diverging of the plates expose magma which cools and causes seafloor spreading.

This describes how tectonic plates interact at mid-ocean ridges (divergent boundaries) and subduction zones (convergent boundaries), leading to the creation of new seafloor through the cooling of magma.
