Question

Which best describes the ages of the rocks on opposite sides of and the same distance from, A Seafloor spreading center?

A. The rocks are the same age

B. There is no way to compare the two ages

C. The rocks closest to the continent are younger

Answer 1

Answer;

-The rocks are the same age

Explanation;

Seafloor spreading is the process by which the seafloor moves apart at mid-ocean ridges.  Divergent seafloor spreading occurs at this type of plate boundary.

Seafloor spreading and other tectonic activity processes are the result of mantle convection. Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries. As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle’s convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense.
