The observation of the alternating magnetic stripes on the seafloor was instrumental in formulating the hypothesis of seafloor spreading.
One day while scientists were exploring the sea floor, they discovered sea-floor spreading, thus proving Wegener's hypothesis to be correct.
One key piece of support that was not included in the initial support for Harry Hess's hypothesis of seafloor spreading was the mechanism of plate tectonics. This idea was developed and integrated into the theory of seafloor spreading by geologists like Robert Dietz and J. Tuzo Wilson at a later stage.
The seafloor spreading hypothesis suggests that the primary cause of continental movement is the upwelling of magma at mid-ocean ridges, which creates new oceanic crust. The movement of this newly-formed crust pushes the existing seafloor apart, leading to the gradual separation and movement of the continents.
In 1960, the discovery of oceanic spreading at mid-ocean ridges provided crucial evidence supporting the theory of continental drift. The identification of symmetrical patterns of magnetic striping on either side of these ridges indicated that new oceanic crust was being formed and pushed outward, confirming that continents could drift apart as tectonic plates moved. This process of seafloor spreading was instrumental in corroborating Alfred Wegener's earlier hypothesis of continental drift.

people here are stupid , really the answer is not hi
dumb question. don't want to write it all
