Strips of oceanic crust on either side of the mid-oceanic ridge mirror the magnetic alignment of their mirror image on the other side of the ridge. Their specific magnetic alignment was formed at the time of solidification from magma. This stripe pattern in the mirror images of crust on either side of the mid-oceanic ridge indicates that new crust is being formed at the same time on both sides of the ridge simultaneously. This is the mechanism of plate movement.

ill help in geography i know all about them its really quite interesting
Can technology help to control plate tectonics?
yes it can for example satellie technology that monitors the movement of tectonic plates.
