What is one piece of evidence that supports sea floor spreading?
Formation of new ocean/sea floor at the edges or divergence/separation.
What geographical features provide evidence for plate tectonics?
Mountains, Valleys, Sea Floor Spreading, Trenches in the Ocean!
Strips of alternating magnetic polarities found in rocks in the ocean basin?
provide evidence for sea-floor spreading
Why did arthur Holmes think the sea floor was spreading?
Spreading Of ocean floor
How is pillow lava evidence of sea-floor spreading?
Evidence shows that molten material erupts through this valley. The material then hardens to form the rock of the ocean floor.-Answered by Nadezda Dimsoski
How are ocean-floor rocks and sediments evidence of seafloor spreading?
because that there are younger rocks found at ocean ridges than the ones found near deep-sea trenches
What is sea floor spreading and what evidence do we have to prove it is happening?
Magnetic minerals on the ocean floor.
Explain how ocean-floor rocks and sediments are evidence of seafloor spreading?
The seafloor rocks vary in different places. Rock samples near ocean ridges are younger than rocks at deep sea trenches
What are the three types of the ocean floor sediments?
The three types of ocean floor sediments are Terrigenous, Biogenous, and Hydrogenous sediments.
How sea floor spreading provide evidence for tectonic plates?
by the plate tectonic and the ocean bridges
What evidence in rock supports the theory of 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.
What is a spreading center on the ocean floor?
sea floor-spreading..;)
