How did Vine and Matthews relate the seafloor-spreading hypothesis to magnetic reversals of the Earth's poles?
a. New crust created at a transform fault recorded high magnetism during periods of normal polarity and low magnetism during periods of reversed polarity. Older crust of alternating magnetism is pushed away from the ocean ridge as new crust is created.
b. New crust created at an ocean ridge recorded high magnetism during periods of normal polarity and low magnetism during periods of reversed polarity. Older crust of alternating magnetism is pushed away from the ocean ridge as new crust is created.
c. New crust created at an ocean ridge recorded low magnetism during periods of normal polarity and high magnetism during periods of reversed polarity. Older crust of alternating magnetism is pushed away from the ocean ridge as new crust is created.
d. New crust created at an ocean ridge recorded high magnetism during periods of normal polarity and low magnetism during periods of reversed polarity. Newer crust of alternating magnetism is pushed away from the ocean ridge as new crust is created.
e. New crust created at deep-sea trench recorded high magnetism during periods of normal polarity and low magnetism during periods of reversed polarity. Older crust of alternating magnetism is pushed away from the ocean ridge as new crust is created.
b. New crust created at an ocean ridge recorded high magnetism during periods of normal polarity and low magnetism during periods of reversed polarity. Older crust of alternating magnetism is pushed away from the ocean ridge as new crust is created.
