The 70 pages that link to Seafloor spreading, each with the reason it gives.

• Juan de Fuca RidgeNarrower topic: This ridge is a site where seafloor spreading creates the Juan de Fuca Plate.

• Kerguelen PlateauRelated: Spreading divided parts of the plateau and carried them apart.

• Somali PlateRelated: Spreading in the Indian Ocean accommodates part of the Somali Plate's motion.

• Southeast Indian RidgeNarrower topic: This process creates new crust along the ridge as the plates move apart.

• Submarine volcanoRelated: Spreading centers continuously feed magma into submarine volcanic systems.

• Afar Triple JunctionRelated: It operates in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden arms, beyond Afar’s continental rifts.

• Qiongzhou StraitRelated: Geophysical studies have linked the strait’s deep basin to regional crustal extension.

• ContinentsRelated: It provides a mechanism for ocean basins widening between separating continents.

• John Tuzo WilsonRelated: Wilson’s work on plate boundaries fit the growing evidence that new seafloor moves outward from ridges.

• Pacific–Antarctic RidgeNarrower topic: At this ridge, spreading separates the Pacific and Antarctic plates and creates new seafloor.

• PanthalassaRelated: This process helps explain why ancient Panthalassan seafloor is largely absent today.

• Continental fragmentRelated: New ocean floor can widen the gap between a fragment and its parent continent.

• Scotia SeaNarrower topic: Spreading helped open the Scotia Sea basin as the surrounding plates shifted.

• Southwest Indian RidgeNarrower topic: Divergence across the ridge creates new crust and carries it away from the spreading axis.

• Central Indian RidgeNarrower topic: This ridge is a site where seafloor spreading creates Indian Ocean crust.

• Oceanic basinRelated: It enlarges ocean basins as their floors move away from spreading ridges.

• SeabedRelated: It continually creates seabed along spreading ridges.

• Expanding EarthCompared with: It accounts for new ocean floor through ridge creation balanced by destruction at subduction zones.

• GeodynamicsBroader topic: It is a measurable expression of plate divergence and mantle upwelling.

• History of geophysicsRelated: Its acceptance connected ocean-floor observations with moving continents.
