What is the key to understanding continental drift?
sea floor spreading
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 do scientist think caused Continental drift?
Sea-floor spreading
Identify how magnetic symmetry can be used as evidence of sea floor spreading?
As the sea floor spreads the magnetic orientation in the rocks as they cooled is preserved. As the earth's magnetic field changes then a distinct pattern is imprinted in the rocks. If sea floor spreading is true then this unique pattern should be the same on both sides from the spreading point. Measurements of sea bottom rocks verify this symmetry is true. :)
What theory combined sea floor spreading and continental drift?

What did geologists of the late 1700's conclude about Earth's landforms?

What is a good sentence for sea floor spreading?

What forces sea floor spreading?
Sea floor spreading is caused by convection currents in the mantle to cause a divergent boundary underwater. When the divergent boundary spreads, it caues a mid-ocean ridge. This is sea-floor spreading. Hope I helped!
