The driving force and energy that compels the continents to move
The evolution of similar species that are found in unexpected areas
The rate of movement of the continents as they drift apart
The direction of the continents as they move
8
Multiple Choice
Who is the proponent of Seafloor Spreading theory?
Alfred Wegener
Marie Tharp
Harry Hess
Bruce Heezen
9
Multiple Choice
Where does seafloor spreading occur?
in escarpments
in mid-ocean ridges
in trenches
in the ocean floor
10
Multiple Choice
What technology was used by Tharp and Heezen in mapping the ocean floor?
Global Positioning System (GPS)
Digital Elevation Model (DEM)
Geographic Information System (GIS)
Sound Navigation and Ranging (SONAR)
11
Multiple Choice
What type of boundary is observed in mid-ocean ridges?
Convergent
Side slip
Divergent
Transform fault
12
Multiple Choice
What evidence in Seafloor Spreading supports this observation?
-Rocks near the ridge have warmer temperature compared to rocks which are far from the ridge
Molten Material
Radiometric Age Dating and Fossil Ages
Seafloor Drill
Magnetic Stripes
13
Multiple Choice
What evidence of Seafloor Spreading supports this observation?
The sea floor is composed of different rocks according to ages and they are positioned equally in opposite directions (National Geographic), hence, these rocks possess similar magnetic bands.
Molten Material
Radiometric Age Dating and Fossil Ages
Seafloor Drill
Magnetic Stripes
14
Multiple Choice
What evidence in Seafloor Spreading supports this observation?
- Rocks on the seafloor are younger than the rocks on the continental crust.
