Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The stages of a new developing sea are centering (the location of the future sea), doming (the upward movement of the crust due to the underlying magma chamber), rifting (the splitting of the crust), and spreading (the formation of new oceanic crust and widening of the sea floor). This sequence of events is known as the "Wilson cycle." Option B refers to the stages of volcanic island formation and subduction zones, while option C includes plate subduction, which is not a stage in the development of a new sea. Option D includes continental erosion, which is not a stage in the process of sea formation.
