During the 1960s scientist were already equipped with gadgets needed to explore the deep ocean. What discovery about the ocean floor is associated with the seafloor spreading?

The crust of the ocean is very young relative to the age of the crust of the continents.

Mountains are denser than the mantle.

The rotational poles of the Earth have migrated.

The crust of the continents is more dense than the crust of the ocean.

Who were the two scientists who proposed seafloor spreading in the early 1960s?

Charles Darwin and James Hutton
