Sort the following sentences into evidence or not evidence to support the process of seafloor spreading.
1. Magnetic rocks near the Mid- Ocean ridges show that there are alternating patterns of normal and reverse polarity of the ocean floor near the rift and are mirror images on either side of it.
2. Mountains are forming at the ridge and will become new islands that push continents further aprat from each other.
3. Magnetic rocks near the Mid-ocean ridges have patterns of normal and reverse polarity on each side of the pecan floor. Therefore, on the right side of the ridge is normal polarity while on the left side is reversed polarity.
4. The ocean floor is a mix of newer and older crust, which means that the seafloor is being formed at the ridge and old crust being recycled at subduction.
5. All oceanic crust is the same age and is created every thousands of years. It becomes old and pushes further away from the ridge and subducts to be recycled near continents
