Q

What are the steps to sea floor soreading

A

Ocean floor rock is formed by molten material that seeps through a crack in the ocean floor. The magnetic material in the molten rock lined up with the direction of earths magnetic field. When the rock cools it creates a permanent record of magnetic field.
