Question

Which of the following provides evidence that supports the theory of plate tectonics? Glacier movement Matching fossils Seafloor spreading Types and ages of rocks

Answer 1

Seafloor spreading

Step-by-step explanation:

Seafloor spreading -

It is the method which happens at the mid - ocean ridges , where the new oceanic crust is made via some volcanic eruption and then slowly moves away from the ridge , is known as seafloor spreading.

The convection current beneath the seafloor pushes the magma outwards , and thereby forcing the older material away and new material comes and form a fresh new seafloor.

Answer 2

Seafloor spreading (c) is the major piece of evidence for plate tectonics and the movement of the earth's plates. Convection currents underneath the seafloor cause magma to be pushed up and outward, forcing the older material away and leading the new material to cool and become the new seafloor.
