Seismic Waves, Rock formations, and the shapes of the continents over time
What else can I help you with?
Is the analysis of seafoor sediments evidence of sea-floor spreading?
Not really but sea floor sediments thickness increase with increased distance from spreading centers which is good evidence. Other evidence such as magnetic reversals, temperature, dating methods provide the best evidence of seafloor spreading
Strips of alternating magnetic polarities found in rocks in the ocean basin?
provide evidence for sea-floor spreading
What is magnetic striping evidence of?
Magnetic reversals and sea floor spreading.
How did molten material show evidence of sea floor spreading?
It just did, you could see it
How seismic studies support seafloor spreading?
Seismic studies show evidence of mid-ocean ridges where new oceanic crust is forming, supporting the theory of seafloor spreading. By analyzing seismic waves, scientists can map the structure of the ocean floor and identify areas of tectonic activity where plates are moving apart. Additionally, seismic data reveals the presence of magnetic striping on the seafloor, further supporting the idea of seafloor spreading.
Wegeners hypothesis of continental drift was finally confirmed by?
evidence supporting the idea of sea-floor spreading.
Is the analysis of seafoor sediments evidence of sea-floor spreading?

How magnetic reversals provide evidence for sea floor spreading?
Because of the stripes at the sea floor which are magnetic minerals
How sea floor spreading provide evidence for tectonic plates?
by the plate tectonic and the ocean bridges
How does magnetic reversals provide evidence for seafloor spreading?
Because of the stripes at the sea floor which are magnetic minerals
How do rocks along central valley of mid ocean ridge provide evidence of sea floor spreading?
because
Strips of alternating magnetic polarities found in rocks in the ocean basin?
provide evidence for sea-floor spreading
True or false Bands of magnetic material in the sea floor that have opposite poles or exhibit magnetic reversal can provide evidence for sea floor spreading.?
true
How are ocean-floor rocks and sediments evidence of seafloor spreading?
Ocean-floor rocks near mid-ocean ridges show a symmetrical pattern of magnetized stripes parallel to the ridge axis. These stripes result from periodic reversals in Earth's magnetic field and provide evidence of seafloor spreading. Sediments on the ocean floor also show younger ages near the ridges, supporting the idea of seafloor spreading.
How do magnetic reversals provide evidence of sea - floor spreading?
The presence of magnetic domains of alternating orientation parallel to the plate boundaries.
What is sea floor spreading and what evidence do we have to prove it is happening?
Magnetic minerals on the ocean floor.
What is used as evidence for sea floor spreading?
Magnetic reversals
