Question

What is the major evidence that sea-floor spreading creates new lithosphere? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

 the major evidence that sea-floor spreading creates new lithosphere is that when it reverses, the minerals align in the opposite direction. 

Answer 2

Answer;

-When it reverses, the minerals align int he opposite direction

Step-by-step explanation;

-Seafloor spreading helps explain continental drift in the theory of plate tectonics. When oceanic plates diverge, tensional stress causes fractures to occur in the lithosphere.

-Several types of evidence supported Hess's theory of sea-floor spreading: eruptions of molten material, magnetic stripes in the rock of the ocean floor, and the ages of the rocks themselves.
