How does the age of seafloor sediments change with increasing distance from the ocean ridge?
Age of seafloor rock and sediment increases with distance from the oceanic ridges.
How does the age of seafloor sediments change with increasing distance from the ocean range?
At ocean spreading ridges, new oceanic crust is formed. The magma that forms this new crust emerges from the ridge and pushes the pre-existing rocks away from the ridge laterally. This results in a strip of new rock cutting through the older rock. As formation of the crust continues, the older rocks will be pushed further away from the ridge, while younger, newly produced rocks will occupy the area closest to the ridge.
Is it possible for an object to have an increasing velocity and an increasing acceleration?
If your acceleration is increasing then by default your velocity has to increase. Acceleration = velocity/time so if acceleration is increasing the velocity is also increasing... And just for fun, just as the change in distance is velocity, and change in velocity is acceleration with respect to time, the change in acceleration with respect to Time is called a jerk
How do oceans change size?
Seafloor spreading and subduction
Explain how the physical characteristics of sediments change during transport?
Sediments are transported by four main agents water, ice, wind, and the effects of gravity. The speed with which the agent of erosion moves affects the size of sediment particles that can be carried and the distance that the particles will move.

What does the slop of a distance vs. time graph tell you?
The slope of a distance vs. time graph is a measure of the rate of change of the distance over time. It tells you the speed at which the distance is changing. If the slope is positive it means the distance is increasing with time. If the slope is negative it means the distance is decreasing with time. If the slope is zero it means the distance is not changing with time. Positive slope: distance is increasing with time. Negative slope: distance is decreasing with time. Zero slope: distance is not changing with time.The slope of the graph can be used to calculate the average speed of an object over a certain period of time. By taking the change in distance and dividing it by the change in time the average speed can be calculated.
Does weathering change metamorpic rock to sediments?
yes
How does permittivity of air change with altitude?
decreases with increasing altitude. as altitude increases so does the distance between the air molecules. increasing distance between air molecules leads to increased resistance to flow.
What are the two processes that can change sediments into rocks?
PressureHigh temperature
