- Mid-oceanic volcanic ridges.
- Magnetic reversals in oceanic crust symmetrical about mid-oceanic volcanic ridges.
- Try looking it up in your textbook, you don't expect everything to be handed to you without any work.

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 are three kinds of evidence scientists have discovered to support the idea of the ocean floor spreading?
molten material, magnetic stripes, and the ages of the rock.
What evidence is there to support the theory of sea floor spreading?
the newer rock is closer to the middle n th older ones spread along the sides
What is magnetic striping evidence of?
Magnetic reversals and sea floor spreading.
How did molten material show evidence of sea floor spreading?
It just did, you could see it
What are pieces of evidence that support the idea of Pangaea?
Continental Fit, Fossil Evidence and Sea floor Spreading. I just did this in science a month ago. :)
How does evidence that rocks farther from a ridge are older than rocks closer to the ridge support the idea of sea floor spreading?

What are three types of evidence provided support for sea-floor spreading?
Seismic Waves, Rock formations, and the shapes of the continents over time

The ocean floor spreading from the ridge what are three kind of evidence scientist have found to support this ideas?
the oceanic crust goes down your mouth
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.

What is sea floor spreading and what evidence do we have to prove it is happening?
Magnetic minerals on the ocean floor.
Used as evidence for sea-floor spreading?
magnetic reversal
What is used as evidence for sea floor spreading?
Magnetic reversals
What three types of evidence provided support of the theory of sea-floor spreading?
three are : eruptions of molten material magnetic stripes in the rock of the ocean floor and the ages of the rocks themselves :)
