How did core samples drilled from various locations in the ocean floor support the concept of seafloor spreading?
a. Cores containing younger sediment were located closer to the ridge crest than were cores containing older sediment, meaning that older material is continuously being pushed away from the ridge.
b. Cores containing younger sediment were located closer to the trench than were cores containing older sediment, meaning that older material is continuously being pushed away from the ridge.
c. All cores contained sediment that was roughly the same age regardless of their proximities to the ridge crest.
d. Cores containing older sediment were located closer to the trench than were cores containing younger sediment, meaning that older material is continuously being pushed away from the ridge.
e. Cores containing older sediment were located closer to the ridge crest than were cores containing younger sediment, meaning that older material is continuously being pushed away from the ridge.
