here is your answer

Seafloor spreading is the mechanism by which new seafloor lithosphere is constantly being created at mid-ocean ridges.

This theory, introduced by Harry Hess, was proven as patterns of magnetic field polarity preserved in seafloor basalt and by age dating of the rocks.

Sea floor spreading is a process which occurs at mid ocean ridges where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic eruption and than gradually moves away from the ridge.
