How did Alfred Wegeners theory support the theory of seafloor spreading?
He supported the Seafloor Spreading Theory by first discovering the Continental Drift Theory.
Did seafloor spreading prove the theory of continental drift?
Seafloor spreading helped prove the theory of continental drift. Pangea theory also helped.
What does seafloor spreading have to do with the theory of continental drift?
Seafloor Spreading helped move the Continents to their current location.
How do the ages of the rocks on the seafloor support the theory of seafloor spreading?
The ages of the rocks become older the farther the way they are from the ridges. The closer they are the younger it is. This leaves evidence to the seafloor spreading theory.
How is magnesium used to support the theory of seafloor spreading?
No
Who proposed the theory of seafloor spreading based on maps of the ocean floor?
The Seafloor Spreading Theory was proposed by Harry Hess.
What was the two discovery Harry Hess?
The Seafloor Spreading Theory

What is the weakness of the seafloor Spreading Theory?
Currently there don't seem to be any.
Does the theory of plate tectonics contain both seafloor spreading and continental drift?
Yes. The theory of plate tectonics is very broad, and it covers seafloor spreading, continental drift, plate boundaries and so on.
What is seafloor spreading that ''helps'' the theory of continental drift?
How seafloor spreading helps to explain the theory of continental drift is that wegener couldn't explain why and waht force caused the continents to move and so seafloor spreading helps to explain the theory of continental drift because it shows the force that made the continents move and that was te only thing that wagener needed to prove his theory of continental drift............thanks
