2. Scientists claim that the ocean floor has magnetic pattems. Why does this support the theory of plate tectonics? A. Magnetic patterns are symmetrical on each side of the mid-ocean ridge, which would indicate that the seafloor is spreading apart like the tectonic plate theory claims.
B. Magnetic patterns can only form after billions of years; this proves that the seafloor has not moved recently, which is what the tectonic plate theory claims. C. Magnetic patterns only form where two plates are moving together, which could be expected if the earth's crust is moving
