Question

what is the orientation of the magnetic stripes of iron contained in rocks that support the idea of seafloor spreading? east and west north and east south and west north and south

Explanation:

The magnetic stripes of iron in rocks supporting seafloor - spreading are oriented parallel to the mid - ocean ridge, which is in a north - south direction due to the Earth's magnetic field. As new oceanic crust is formed at the mid - ocean ridge, the iron minerals in the cooling lava align with the Earth's magnetic field at that time.

Answer:

D. north and south
