Question
a ghost pirate feels the seafloor spreading beneath his ship. where is he sailing? a divergent boundary a subduction zone a transform fault a hot spot
Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent boundaries, where tectonic plates move apart, allowing new oceanic crust to form. Subduction zones involve one plate sliding under another (no spreading). Transform faults are for lateral plate movement. Hot spots are volcanic activity centers, not related to seafloor spreading. So the ghost pirate is at a divergent boundary.
