1 Seafloor spreading is one of the two major processes of plate tectonics, the other being subduction. 2  Seafloor spreading is the continuous process of forming new igneous rock at midocean ridges by injection of magma that forms new seafloor.

Why do tectonic plates move? The main driving force of plate tectonics is gravity. If a plate with oceanic lithosphere meets another plate, the dense oceanic lithosphere dives beneath the other plate and sinks into the mantle: this process is called subduction. However, convection is also driving plate tectonics. When you heat up noodles in a pan of water, you create convection cells: noodles move upward in the middle of the pan where temperature is higher, and downward on the edges of the pan where the temperature is lower.
