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"

the ocean sea floor is spreading
Sea-floor spreading
three are : eruptions of molten material magnetic stripes in the rock of the ocean floor and the ages of the rocks themselves :)

the theory of sea-floor spreading
Scientists found Alternating bands of magnetism.
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.
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.
