Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Seafloor spreading has all kinds of effects. It can cause sea level rise, pushes tectonic plates around and can affect the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by powering volcanoes. Fifteen million years ago, the researchers found, the seafloor spread about 200 millimeters per year.

Detailed explanation-2: -Seafloor spreading is a geologic process in which tectonic plates-large slabs of Earth’s lithosphere-split apart from each other. Seafloor spreading and other tectonic activity processes are the result of mantle convection.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Evidence Comes Together These observations are: The seafloor has a large mountain range running through it. Deep trenches are found far from the ridges. Guyots have eroded tops that are deep below sea level.
