Sea Floor Spreading LAB 2017
... Through direct sampling, Hess measured the age of the sea floor and realized that new seafloor has continually been forming over millions of years at the mid-ocean ridges. Hess found that on each side of the ridge, sea floor got older as a person moved away from the ridge towards the continents. The ...
