Using sound waves, scientists discovered a Using sound waves, scientists discovered a system of underwater mountain ranges system of underwater mountain ranges called the mid-ocean ridges in many called the mid-ocean ridges in many oceans.oceans.

In the 1960s, Harry Hess suggested In the 1960s, Harry Hess suggested the theorythe theory of seafloor of seafloor spreading to spreading to explain the explain the ridgesridges
