geologists got their shorts tied in knots because they (the geologists, not the shorts or the knots) were so excited when they discovered what about the pattern of sediment thickness across undersea spreading ridges: group of answer choices the sediment is the same thickness everywhere, showing that the rocks are all about the same age and accumulate sediment at the same rate everywhere. the sediment is thick near the ridges, and thins as you go away from the ridges, because the rocks near the ridges are oldest and have had the most time to accumulate sediment, whereas rocks farther away are younger and have not had as long to accumulate sediment. the sediment is thin near the ridges, and thickens as you go away from the ridges, because the rocks near the ridges are young and have had little time to accumulate sediment, whereas rocks farther away are older and have had longer to accumulate sediment. the sediment is thick near the ridges, and thins as you go away from the ridges, because fish always poop over the ridges.
