The seafloor is spreading just as we speak! Did you ever think the seafloor could be spreading? Below is a diagram of the seafloor. New sea floor is produced when tectonic plates split apart. Then …

In Oceanography, we've been studying the topography of the seafloor and the different feature that are found there. Students had to build their own seafloor with all of the features we learned about. This is Nickolai's model- sensational!

The seafloor seems to be getting sluggish, according to a new study published by the American Geophysical Union (AGU). The researchers analyzed the last 19 million years of seafloor spreading rates and discovered a slowing trend. #seafloorspreading #climatechange
