Which term describes the supercontinent?

• Pangaea

• Sea-Floor Spreading

• Alfred Wegener

• Tectonic Plates

Which of the following is not evidence of the sea floor spreading?

• The age of the rocks

• Magnetic Stripes on the ocean floor

• Fossil evidence on various continents

• Subduction

Why does the ocean floor have magnetic stripes?

• Earth's polarity reverses, cause new rock to be magnetized differently.

• Because rocks change color over time and it shows their age.

• The ocean floor does not have stripes

• Not all rock is magnetic, so it creates stripes.
