Ttitle: The Theory Of Seafloor Spreading
Heading: New Technology and Seafloor Knowledge
Introduction:
- How did invention of Sonar contrbute to information about the ocean bottom? It allows you to "see" through long distance underwater.
- What are mid-ocean ridges, rift valleys, and trenches? The portion running through the middle of Atlantic Ridge. This was one of the frist mid-ocean ridges discovered. Scienttisrs also discovered trenches, which are deep ravines in the seafloor and rift vallage, which are deep valleys running through the center of the Mid-Alantic Ridge and other mid-ocean ridges. They began to notices patterns in the mid-ocean ridges, trenches, and rift valleys the proved pivotal in developing new theories.
Visual and Vocabulary:
Ring of Fire
this is the major earthquake and volcano zone the extends around the edge.
(This is the major earthquake and volcano zone that extends around the edge of the pacfic ocean)
