Which of the following is evidence that sea-floor spreading occurs?
Magnetic stripes
Because the density is increasing
Two plates slide against each other creating earthquakes.
Mountain formation
Convection currents in the mantle
Along fault lines/plate boundaries
Molten rock rises through the crust and hardens to create ocean floor.
Wegener could not identify how a force could move the continents.
why does rock sink when it travels closer to the surface of the earth in a convection current?
