A)

Question

Which conceptual interpretation of data led to the current theory of plate tectonics?
(1 point)
The spreading of the seafloor concluded from sonar and magnetic data.
The condensing of the seafloor concluded from sonar and seismographic data.
The presence of magma currents concluded from sonar and magnetic data.
The existence of Pangaea supported by seismographic and sonar data.

Answer 1

The correct interpretation that led to the current theory of plate tectonics is:

The spreading of the seafloor concluded from sonar and magnetic data.

This interpretation highlights how the discovery of mid-ocean ridges and the patterns of magnetic stripes on either side of these ridges helped scientists understand the process of seafloor spreading, a key component of plate tectonics.
