How does the age of the seafloor provide evidence for seafloor spreading?

The age of the seafloor gets progressively younger as you move away from the mid-ocean ridges.

The age of the seafloor remains the same regardless of the distance from the mid-ocean ridges.

The age of the seafloor gets progressively older as you move away from the mid-ocean ridges.

The age of the seafloor has no correlation with seafloor spreading.

What is the significance of magnetic striping on the ocean floor in supporting seafloor spreading?

It has no significance in supporting seafloor spreading

It is a result of underwater volcanic activity

It provides evidence of seafloor spreading by showing the pattern of alternating magnetic polarity.

It is caused by the movement of tectonic plates

How does plate tectonics impact the formation of mountains?

Plate tectonics have no impact on the formation of mountains

Mountains are formed by erosion, not plate tectonics

Plate tectonics only impact the formation of valleys, not mountains

Plate tectonics cause the movement of Earth's crust, leading to the formation of mountains through processes like subduction, collision, and uplift.
