Liah began making a model to show the processes which resulted in the formation of oceans. Art shows three boxes connected with arrows. The label on the first box is 'Earth's crust formed', second box is 'Water fills the basins', and the third box is labeled with a question mark. Which of the following would be the next step in the process? Crust is broken down Earth's crust moves Earth's plates meet Sea floor spreading

Sea floor spreading

Explanation:

Sea floor spreading results in the formation of the oceanic basin.

After water has filled the basin, the sea floor begins to spread and move apart creating the ocean crust and its basins.

These are all due to different plate interactions within the earth.

After the crust has formed and filled with water, at divergent margins, new ocean floors are formed by volcanic activities at spreading centers.

The new crust is produced near the margin and subsequent ones push against it and away. The formation of new ocean floors product ocean basins.
