What three types of evidence provided support for the theory of sea-floor spreading?

The discovery of mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed, supported the theory of sea-floor spreading. The mapping of magnetic stripes on the ocean floor, showing alternating patterns of magnetic polarity, provided further evidence for sea-floor spreading. The age of the oceanic crust getting progressively younger away from the mid-ocean ridges supported the concept of sea-floor spreading.
