The data that supports the seafloor spreading hypothesis is the **bands of magnetic reversals in ocean rocks**. This evidence shows how new oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges and records the magnetic orientation of the Earth over time, which provides insight into the movement of tectonic plates.
