We look at the ocean floor to study the mantle because the ocean floor is made from rocks that were once part of the mantle but have be changed. These changes can be undone to a certain degree, and can allow us to study at the very least the major changes of the shallow mantle.
Why do scientists look to the ocean floor to research the mantle? Because magma from the mantle flows out of active volcanoes on the ocean floor. These underwater volcanoes have given scientists many clues about the composition of the mantle.

Slabs of ocean floor return to the mantle in subduction zones
Crust mantle core
subduction is the answer.

The Young Ocean Floor is the part of the mantle showing between the 2 split tectonic plates.
Is there magnetic stripe son the ocean floor are places where oceanic crust sink back to the mantle
Scientists who work on the ocean floor are called marine biologist
