Which statement describes the relationship between seafloor spreading and continental drift? a. as the seafloor spreads the continents do not move. b. as the continents move they pull the seafloor with them. c. as the continents moved they create new seafloor at the coast. d. as the seafloor spreads the continents move in the same direction.

Answer;

D. As the seafloor spreads the continents move in the same direction.

Explanation;Sea floor spreading refers to the phenomena where new sea floor or oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges, through the volcanic activity and then moves away from the ridge. The movement of the tectonic plates that move caused the continents to move apart. Sea floor spreading caused the break up of Pangea, which  supports continental drift theory. Therefore, the spreading of the seafloor helps explain the continental drift in theory of plate tectonics.
