Continental drift, seafloor spreading and plate tectonics have many similarities. They also have many differences. Sea floor spreading is when new molten material comes up through the mantle onto the ocean floor. Continental drift is when the continents break apart and move. Plate tectonics is what the continents and ocean are on and moving on. Continental drift, seafloor spreading and plate tectonics are all related. Continental drift, seafloor spreading and plate tectonics are all similar in many

Sea-Floor Spreading, plate tectonics,and continental drift. Are all parts of the earth,that make the Earth still survive today.Seafloor Spreading is a geological process in which tectonic plates, large slabs of Earth’s lithosphere split apart from each other. Seafloor spreading helps us in many ways. One way is that, it makes up the the oceanic crust. Another way is that it makes large mountain ranges, that rise from the ocean floor.Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth’s outer shell is divided

From the tallest mountains, all the way to the deepest ocean trenches, plate tectonics explains all the features & movements of earther’s surfaces in both the past & present. Plate tectonics, the theory that earth’s external shell is separated into numerous plates which glide over the rocky internal layer of the core called the mantle. The plates act like a rigid & hard shell compared to earth’s mantle. The lithosphere is what the strong outer layer is referred to as. Developed between the 1950s

which is recognized as the mid-ocean ridge system, and spreads out horizontally away from them. This statement was the primary reasoning behind the development theory of plate tectonics. In 1960, an American geophysicist, Harry Hess suggested new found discoveries about the deep ocean floor in regards to sea floor spreading. He believed based on his discoveries that the molten material from Earth’s mantle endlessly shafts up along the ridges of the mid-ocean ridges that wind for 50,000 miles all throughout

Vimy Ridge: From Colony to Nation One of the many brave and selfless Canadian soldiers who fought in the historical battle of Vimy Ridge perfectly stated, “[t]hey fought as Canadians and those who returned brought back with them a pride of nationhood that they had not known before.” War does not only change a single, individual person, but a country as a whole.
