What is Seafloor Spreading Explained about?
The document discusses the Seafloor Spreading Hypothesis proposed by Harry Hess, which suggests that the ocean floor is continuously created and destroyed, driving the movement of tectonic plates. It outlines the scientific evidence supporting this theory, including rock ages, paleomagnetism, and the alignment of earthquakes and volcanoes with mid-ocean ridges. The document also highlights the historical context of geological thinking before Hess and the implications of his theory on understanding Earth
