Umm Maybe by the way sea floor spreads apart along both sieds of a mid ocean ridge as new crust is added

How did Alfred Wegeners theory support the theory of seafloor spreading?
He supported the Seafloor Spreading Theory by first discovering the Continental Drift Theory.
How is magnesium used to support the theory of seafloor spreading?
No
What is the modern theory supported by additional evidence such as satellite measurements of continental movement?
Seafloor Spreading.
What was the theory that was shown to be correct by age evidence and magnetic clues?
Magnetic Reversal
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 do the ages of the rocks on the ocean floor 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.

Seafloor Spreading.
What evidence in rocks supports the theory seafloor spreading?
Convergence supports the theory of seafloor spreading. Samples of the deep ocean floor are evidence of seafloor spreading because the basaltic oceanic crust and overlapping sediment become younger as the mid-ocean ridge is approached. Also, the rock that makes up the floor of the ocean is younger than the continents.
Did seafloor spreading prove the theory of continental drift?
Seafloor spreading helped prove the theory of continental drift. Pangea theory also helped.

First related the symmetrical magnetic patterns in seafloor basalts to seafloor spreading at a mid-ocean ridge?
Lawrence W. Morley, Frederick John Vine, and Drummond Hoyle Matthews were the first to tie magnetic stripe anomalies to seafloor spreading. The magnetic anomalies was the first evidence that supported the theory of seafloor spreading.
