how does seafloor spreading theory explain the drifting of continents?​

Answer:

Seafloor spreading helps explain continental drift in the theory of plate tectonics. When oceanic plates diverge,

tensional stress causes fractures to occur in the lithosphere.

Older rocks will be found farther away from the spreading zone while younger rocks will be found nearer to the spreading zone.

Answer:

Seafloor spreading helps explain continental drift in the theory of plate tectonics.

Explanation:

Seafloor spreading helps explain continental drift in the theory of plate tectonics. When oceanic plates diverge, tensional stress causes fractures to occur in the lithosphere. At a spreading center, basaltic magma rises up the fractures and cools on the ocean floor to form new seabed.
