2. Do Now: Copy the following statements and state whether the following statements are true or false in your Science Notebook
Seafloor spreading takes place along a mid-ocean ridge.
True
Oceanic crust is older when it is closer to a mid-ocean ridge than it is when it is farther from the ridge.
False, it is younger when it is closer to a mid-ocean ridge.
The high thermal-energy flow at a mid-ocean ridge comes from seawater.
False, the thermal energy comes from magma.
