Answer:

because volcanoes in the center of the ridge push the pre-existing seafloor on either side of it away from it at equal speeds

also when the earth's polarity flips, the crystals on either side of the spreading center are affected equally, so the bands are always the same distance from the ocean ridge

also because when the magma solidifies (which is what "freezes in" the magnetic orientation), the magnetic field of the earth exerts the same force on both sides of the ridge (the midline of the spreading).

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Sailors call the latitudes between 40 and 50 degrees south of the equator the Roaring Forties. ... Warm air moving poleward (on both sides of the equator) is the result of nature trying to reduce the temperature difference between the equator and at the poles created by uneven heating from the sun.
