What is the primary force that causes the seafloor to spread and continents to drift?
Answer (2)
The primary force causing the seafloor to spread and continents to drift is plate tectonics. It explains how the slow motions within Earth's mantle move its crust, leading to events like continental drift and formation of** geological features.**

The primary force behind seafloor spreading and continental drift is plate tectonics, driven by mantle convection and gravitational forces. This theory suggests that Earth's lithosphere consists of tectonic plates that move over the asthenosphere. Alfred Wegener's earlier theory of continental drift laid the groundwork for our understanding of these geological movements.
