How are magnetic patterns in sea floor rock evidence of seafloor spreading?

Magnetic alignment of rocks, in alternating strips that run parallel to ridges, indicates reversals in Earth's magnetic field and provides further evidence of seafloor spreading.


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.


Is there evidence that seafloor-spreading?

its not happy


What do magnetic anomalies provide evidence of?

seafloor spreading


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 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.


Paleomagnetic evidence was used to confirm which of the following hypotheses?

seafloor spreading


What are three types of seafloor spreading?

evidence from molten material evidence from magnetic stripes evidence from drilling samples


Magnetic striping is evidence of?
