8th Grade Science

Sea-floor Spreading and ConvectionConvection of the magma underneath the earth's surface is what causes the plates to move. Convection is when a hot fluid (liquid or gas) rises, then as it cools, it falls.


8th Grade Science

Sea-floor Spreading and Convection• Sea-floor spreading occurs when two tectonic

plates move apart• When plates move apart this is a divergent

boundary• Two tectonic plates are moving towards each

other, convergent boundary, this can cause subduction.

• Subduction is when one plate goes under another.
