Question
a ghost pirate feels the seafloor spreading beneath his ship. where is he sailing? a hot spot a subduction zone a divergent boundary a transform fault
Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent boundaries, where tectonic plates move apart, allowing new oceanic crust to form. Hot spots are for volcanic island formation, subduction zones involve one plate sliding under another, and transform faults are for lateral plate movement. So the ghost pirate is sailing at a divergent boundary.
