Answer:
Hess stated seafloor spreading helped explain Wegener's theory of how the continents move. There is lots of evidence that proves that seafloor spreading is occurring. One piece of evidence is mid-ocean ridges. Rocks found near mid-ocean ridges are young and get older as the distance from the ocean ridge increases.

One piece of evidence of seafloor spreading is a mid-ocean ridge.
Explanation:
- The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a mountain system formed by plate tectonics on the seafloor.
- It is typically about 2,600 meters deep, about two kilometers above the deepest part of the basin.
- With this function, the expansion of the seafloor is carried out along the divergent plate boundary.
- It is a highland with a central valley on the seafloor at the boundary between two divergent structural plates that form a new crust of rising magma.
