A.the theory of plate tectonics
B.the flow of the oceans’ currents
C.the different depths of the ocean
D.the theory of continental spreading

Respuesta :

Answer:

the different depths of the ocean

D - Continental spreading happens when magma rises from the ocean floor causing the old rocks to be pushed away and causing the new rocks to be formed down and to be a replacement for the old rocks that drifted away. This causes a cycle where new rocks and old rocks get replaced and this cycle always has the old rocks getting pushed away.
