23. One of the reasons that seafloor spreading was accepted as fact was a. because midocean ridges were present b. because of a deep sea drilling program involving a ship called the Glomar Challenger 24. The magnetic banding was mostly found on the a. sides of the ocean C. b. at the subduction zone d. d. c. the seafloor is much older than the continents on either side of the oceans that if there was not a deep sea spreading then the oceans would not be able to keep their present shapes from when earth formed on drifting continents on the ocean floor
