Eruption of molten material, magnetic stripes in the rock of the ocean floor, and the ages of the rocks themselves.

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.
How do magnetic signatures support the idea that continents move?
Scientists indicated that the seafloor was spreading, so the poles "reverse"
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 did research from the Glomar Challenger help scientists support the theory of seafloor spreading?
Drill cores from the ocean floor were dated and found to be very young compared to the age of the earth. This means the crust had to be formed recently, which can be explained by creation of crust at a spreading center.
How does evidence that rocks farther from a ridge are older than rocks closer to the ridge support the idea of sea floor spreading?

How did the seafloor drilling help scientist find evidence to support the seafloor-spreading hypothesis?
people here are stupid , really the answer is not hi

dumb question. don't want to write it all

How is magnesium used to support the theory of seafloor spreading?
No
How did Alfred Wegeners theory support the theory of seafloor spreading?
He supported the Seafloor Spreading Theory by first discovering the Continental Drift Theory.
What are three types of evidence provided support for sea-floor spreading?
Seismic Waves, Rock formations, and the shapes of the continents over time
How did the new evidence support Hess's theory of seafloor spreading?
Umm Maybe by the way sea floor spreads apart along both sieds of a mid ocean ridge as new crust is added
