APFIVE Seafloor Spreading and Oceanic Ecosystems
How has the process of seafloor spreading at divergent boundaries contributed to our understanding of plate tectonics and its impact on oceanic ecosystems over the past few decades?
A
It has demonstrated that seafloor spreading is slowing down, causing a decline in marine biodiversity
B
It has proven that divergent boundaries are sites of subduction, explaining the formation of deep-sea trenches
C
It has revealed the formation of new oceanic crust and hydrothermal vents, supporting unique deep-sea ecosystems
D
It has shown that oceanic plates are becoming thinner, leading to increased volcanic activity in coastal regions
