When new rock is added to an oceanic ridge the magnetized strips on either side of the ridge are evidence of sea-floor spreading. This is because the rocks on the two sides of the ridge?

When new rock is added to an oceanic ridge the magnetized strips on side of the ridge are evidence of sea floor spreading this is because the rock the two sides of the ridge?
are equal in width and polarity
How are ocean-floor rocks and sediments evidence of seafloor spreading?
because that there are younger rocks found at ocean ridges than the ones found near deep-sea trenches
How does seafloor spreading affect us?
seafloor spreading affects us with help from continental drift. seafloor spreading creates new seafloors, but moves the continents a few centimeters apart from each other every year. in many years, pangaea will become aeagnap, because the continents will become one big land again, but backwards, and will damage the faults and the only land we have severely.
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
Why seafloor spreading is like a moving conveyor belt?
because the two plates are pushing away from each other like a conveyor belt
How does magnetic reversals provide evidence for seafloor spreading?
Because of the stripes at the sea floor which are magnetic minerals
What evidence in rocks supports the theory seafloor spreading?
Convergence supports the theory of seafloor spreading. Samples of the deep ocean floor are evidence of seafloor spreading because the basaltic oceanic crust and overlapping sediment become younger as the mid-ocean ridge is approached. Also, the rock that makes up the floor of the ocean is younger than the continents.

Why can't someone feel the seafloor spreading?
We can't feel seafloor spreading because the ocean is super deep that the continents will not shake or burst in somewhat actions.

How does the theory of seafloor spreading and continental drift link together?
Because Justin Bieber ate a can of deoderant.

Why does floor spreading occur?
Because of plate tectonics. Because it's 2 plates underwater that are moving apart. Magma rise up to where the 2 plates are separating to fill in the gap. Seafloor spreading occurs underwater.
Why are the effects of subduction in the Pacific Plate more noticeable than the effects of seafloor spreading in the Atlantic?
Because the subduction of the Pacific Plate is very near to centres of human population at the edge of a continental plate, whereas the seafloor spreading in the Atlantic is in the middle of the ocean, far away from human habitation.
