Evidence shows that molten material erupts through this valley. The material then hardens to form the rock of the ocean floor.

How is pillow lava evidence of sea-floor spreading?
Pillow lava forms when molten lava erupts underwater and cools rapidly, creating characteristic pillow-like structures. This type of lava is commonly found along mid-ocean ridges, which are areas where sea-floor spreading occurs. The presence of pillow lava on the ocean floor is evidence of volcanic activity associated with sea-floor spreading.

Is the analysis of seafoor sediments evidence of sea-floor spreading?
Not really but sea floor sediments thickness increase with increased distance from spreading centers which is good evidence. Other evidence such as magnetic reversals, temperature, dating methods provide the best evidence of seafloor spreading
What is used as evidence for sea floor spreading?
Magnetic reversals
What is sea floor spreading and what evidence do we have to prove it is happening?
Magnetic minerals on the ocean floor.
How magnetic reversals provide evidence for sea floor spreading?
Because of the stripes at the sea floor which are magnetic minerals
What is magnetic striping evidence?
Magnetic reversals and sea floor spreading.
What is magnetic striping evidence of?
Magnetic reversals and sea floor spreading.
What Magnetic striping evidence of?
Magnetic reversals and sea floor spreading.
What provides the most evidence for the theory of plates tectonic?
The spreading of the sea floor.
What three pieces of evidence for Wegener's theory came from the sea floor?
seafloor spreading, age of the sea floor and ocean trenches.
What patterns indicate sea floor spreading is occurring?
Ridges, parallel to the axis of spreading, are formed in the ocean floor as hot lava moves up to fill the gap then cools when it comes in contact with sea water.
