Seafloor spreading in the answer

Answer;

B. Seafloor spreading

Explanation;

-Seafloor spreading is the process by which the Earth's lithospheric plates pull apart from each other, creating gaps that are filled with magma from the asthenosphere.

-Alfred Wegener was the scientist who proposed the idea of continental drift. Wegener gave four proofs to support his continental drift hypothesis. These includes;

  • Similarities in coastlines
  • Fossil records are similar on separate landmasses
  • Geologic evidence similarities
  • Climatic Change Similarities

The process of sea floor spreading was a confirmation that Wegener's hypothesis was correct.
