How were different groups of scientists involved in the research and discovery of seafloor spreading?
microscope
How do magnetic signatures support the idea that continents move?
Scientists indicated that the seafloor was spreading, so the poles "reverse"
Is there evidence that seafloor-spreading?
its not happy
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 does the age of rocks in the seafloor provide evidence of seafloor spreading?
Rocks in the seafloor are moving one place to another
How were different groups of scientists involved in the research and discovery of seafloor spreading?
microscope
How did seafloor drilling scientists find evidence to support the seafloor-spreading hypothesis?
dumb question. don't want to write it all
How did research from the Glomar Challenger help scientist support the theory of seafloor spreading?
Drill cores from the ocean floor were dated and found to be very young compared to the age of the earth. This means the crust had to be formed recently, which can be explained by creation of crust at a spreading center.
What did the magnetic strips prove in seafloor spreading?
They proved that the seafloor was spreading.
The name of the research vessel that was used in proving seafloor spreading?
The name of the research vessel that was used in proving the seaflor spreading was the vessel Pioneer. It is a marine magnetometer. mikee...=)
What are 3 things of evidence that scientists have that prove the ocean is spreading?
1) seafloor spreading 2) continental drift 3 i only found 2
How to Diagram the process of seafloor spreading?
A diagram that shows how seafloor spreading works.
How do magnetic signatures support the idea that continents move?
Scientists indicated that the seafloor was spreading, so the poles "reverse"
Seafloor spreading begins when?
Seafloor spreading is triggered by a rift in a continental land mass.
Which force is responsible for seafloor spreading?
Gravity in the oceanic crust is responsible for seafloor spreading.
Process that forms new seafloor?
Seafloor Spreading
How do earth's magnetic signatures support the idea that continents move?
Scientists indicated that the seafloor was spreading, so the poles "reverse"
