Question

Which of the following statements is true? (1 point) Responses The interpretation of sonar data collected along the oceanic ridge helped reveal the epicenter of seafloor spreading, which helped develop the theory of plate tectonics. The interpretation of sonar data collected along the oceanic ridge helped reveal the epicenter of seafloor spreading, which helped develop the theory of plate tectonics. The interpretation of seismographic data collected along the oceanic ridge supported the concept of magma currents, which helped develop the theory of plate tectonics. The interpretation of seismographic data collected along the oceanic ridge supported the concept of magma currents, which helped develop the theory of plate tectonics. The interpretation of temperature data collected along the oceanic ridge supported the theory of seafloor spreading, which helped develop the theory of plate tectonics. The interpretation of temperature data collected along the oceanic ridge supported the theory of seafloor spreading, which helped develop the theory of plate tectonics. The interpretation of magnetic data collected along the oceanic ridge supported the concept of magma currents, which helped develop the theory of plate tectonics.

Answer 1

The statement that is true is:

"The interpretation of magnetic data collected along the oceanic ridge supported the concept of magma currents, which helped develop the theory of plate tectonics."

This is because the study of magnetic data from the ocean floor revealed patterns of magnetic striping that corresponded to the process of seafloor spreading, illustrating how new crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges and helping to provide evidence for the theory of plate tectonics.
