question 20 1 pts which of the following is not used as evidence for the modern theory of plate tectonics. earths magnetic field and paleomagnetism deep - ocean trenches tidal forces sea floor spreading detecting plate motion with satellites
Earth's magnetic field and paleomagnetism show magnetic - striping on the sea floor related to plate movement. Deep - ocean trenches are formed at subduction zones where one plate moves under another. Sea floor spreading is a key process in plate tectonics, creating new oceanic crust. Detecting plate motion with satellites directly measures the movement of plates. Tidal forces are mainly due to the gravitational interaction between the Earth, Moon, and Sun and are not related to plate tectonics evidence.
