The land of ice, particularly in regions like Greenland and Antarctica, provides valuable geological evidence for seafloor spreading through the examination of glacial deposits and ancient rock formations. As tectonic plates move apart at mid-ocean ridges, new crust is formed, which can be observed in the age and composition of rocks on land. The alignment of magnetic minerals in these rocks also reflects the history of seafloor spreading, revealing periodic reversals of Earth's magnetic field. These geological features support the theory that continents drift as new oceanic crust forms beneath the ice.
