The conceptual interpretation of data that led to the current theory of plate tectonics is the spreading of the seafloor concluded from sonar and magnetic data. This interpretation involved the observation of mid-ocean ridges and seafloor spreading patterns, as well as the magnetic signatures that indicated the movement of tectonic plates.
