*Sea Floor Spreading(SFS):-

*Background:
As Wegner proposed the CDT(Conti. Drift Theory) , there were many post drift studies that have been taken by geographers....With Wegner's mapping ofthe ocean floor and paleomagnetic studies of rocks from oceanic regions revealed that
● The sediments on the occan floor are
unexpectedly very thin.
●Rocks equidistant on either sides of the crest of mid-oceanic ridges have remarkable similarities in terms of period of formation, chemical compositions and
magnetic properties.
●The ocean crust rocks are much younger
than the continental rocks

So with this observations, Harry Hess has proposed the Sea Floor Spreading Concept.

> He argued that constant eruptions at the crest of oceanic ridges(middle portion of ocean) cause the rupture of the occanic crust and the new lava wedges into it, pushing the oceanic crust
on either side. The ocean floor thus gets spreads.

> He also argued that ocean floor gets pushed due to constant volcanic activity at the crest , sinks down at the oceanic trenches & gets consumed...

I am providing some images regd this at the end of this(in the channel) ...Go & Compulsarily look into it....It will help you to understand this concept in better way..

In Prelims , not much can be asked from this concept as it is simple & much straightforward concept

In Mains, if Core Geo question is asked in GS1 related to Continental Building ,then in several supporting theories u can give this...

Those who have Geography as OPTIONAL have to COMPULSARY go to in depth study of Continental building & this theory too.
