Explain how drilling samples provided evidence for sea floor spreading?

Scientists discovered that the rocks that were found farther away from the ridge the sample was taken from, the older the rocks were. The most recent rocks were always in the center of the ridges. This showed that sea-floor spreading really has taken place.

When did harry hess propose seafloor spreading?
1960 (although Hess' paper built upon Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift , proposed in 1915).
How does seafloor spreading help to explain continental drift?
ok
Explain how ocean-floor rocks and sediments are evidence of seafloor spreading?
The seafloor rocks vary in different places. Rock samples near ocean ridges are younger than rocks at deep sea trenches
Describe how seafloor spreading helps to explain the continental drift theory?
pie
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

What process helps explain how continents drifts?
Ocean-floor spreading.
A technique for helping with pronunciation is 3 by 3 drilling Explain this technique?
Three by three drilling is when one dude drills three chicks at once. First backward, then forward. Hence the name, three (backward) by three (forward) drilling.

What does a drilling contractor do?
ResponsibilitiesI am a drilling contractor and am working on this field for many years .I am owning a Sydney based drilling and boring company named AV Drilling . So i can explain you from my own experience. It is the responsibility of the Drilling Contractor to drill the well to the correct program specifications and to provide a well bore that is 'fit for purpose', subject to the terms of the contract. The Drilling Contractor shall not compromise safety or well integrity in order to reach the drilling objectives. A drilling Contractor develops, plans, costs and supervises the operations necessary for drilling oil and gas wells. They are involved from the initial well design to testing, completion and abandonment.Drilling Contractor work with other professionals, such as geologists and scientists.
Explain why diffusion is evidence for particle models?
Diffusion is evidence for particle models because it causes diffusions
