The first one is the sonar used to map out sensed mountains,the second one is scientists found strange rocks shaped like pillows in the central valley of the mid-ocean ridge and the last one is scientists discovered that the rock that makes up the ocean floor lies in pattern of magnetizied "stripes"

How did research from the Glomar Challenger help scientist support the theory of seafloor spreading?

Drill cores from the ocean floor were dated and found to be very young compared to the age of the earth. This means the crust had to be formed recently, which can be explained by creation of crust at a spreading center.


The ocean floor spreading from the ridge what are three kind of evidence scientist have found to support this ideas?

Three types of evidence supporting the idea of seafloor spreading include magnetic striping of the ocean floor (paleomagnetism), the presence of young volcanic activity near mid-ocean ridges, and the discovery of deep-sea hydrothermal vents that release hot mineral-rich water. These pieces of evidence suggest that new oceanic crust is continuously forming at mid-ocean ridges and spreading outward.
