How does magnetic stripes prove seafloor spreading?

Why was the theory of seafloor spreading rejected?
Because he wasn't able to prove it he said that if the ocean floor is moving, then the continents might be moving also
How does seafloor spreading help scientists explain continental drift?
If one can prove that the sea floor spreads out from the mid oceanic ridges, then logically the continents must be moving apart to accommodate the spreading. Conversely there must also be places where sea floor is being destroyed if the Earth is to stay the same size.
What scientist used sonar to prove seafloor spreading under the Atlantic ocean?
Using sonar, oceanographers were able to show that the edges of the continental shelves matched.
How do ocean basin magnetic reversals prove plate tectonics exists?
They technically don't. They do provide evidence for it, however, in that they occur in pairs on either side of a rift, providing strong evidence that the rocks on either side were deposited at the same time and that the rifts are spreading.

Did seafloor spreading prove the theory of continental drift?
Seafloor spreading helped prove the theory of continental drift. Pangea theory also helped.
What are 3 things of evidence that scientists have that prove the ocean is spreading?
1) seafloor spreading 2) continental drift 3 i only found 2
What is sea floor spreading and what evidence do we have to prove it is happening?
Magnetic minerals on the ocean floor.
What three pieces of evidence did Harry Hess gather to prove that seafloor spreading was taking place?
Three evidence that supports Harry Hess theory of Seafloor Spreading is; 1. Paleomagnetism. 2. Plate Tectonics. 3. Polar Wondering and Polar Reversal.
Why was the theory of seafloor spreading rejected?
Because he wasn't able to prove it he said that if the ocean floor is moving, then the continents might be moving also
What is seafloor spreading that ''helps'' the theory of continental drift?
How seafloor spreading helps to explain the theory of continental drift is that wegener couldn't explain why and waht force caused the continents to move and so seafloor spreading helps to explain the theory of continental drift because it shows the force that made the continents move and that was te only thing that wagener needed to prove his theory of continental drift............thanks
How did the study of paleomagnetism help prove wegener's hypothesis?
Before discovering that rocks are imprinted with the direction of magnetic orientation that exists at the time of their creation, no proof existed to confirm Wegener's hypothesis. When rocks were examined from both sides of the Mid-Ocean Ridge, the magnetic orientations were found to be mirror images of each other, indicating that the seafloor was spreading outward, and therefore pushing the continents apart.
How does seafloor spreading help scientists explain continental drift?
If one can prove that the sea floor spreads out from the mid oceanic ridges, then logically the continents must be moving apart to accommodate the spreading. Conversely there must also be places where sea floor is being destroyed if the Earth is to stay the same size.
Magnetic minerals prove Earth has had?
A liquid iron core that spins creating a magnetic field
Who Used sonar to prove sea floor spreading?
Harry Hess
