What does the sediment the is closer to mid ocean ridge compare to sediment that is farther away?
The closer the sediment is to the mid-ocean ridge, the younger it is. The oldest bedrock is found the farthest away from it.
How does sediment that is closer to a mid ocean ridge compare in sediment that is father away?
It's thinner
How does organisms use currents to move?
they get on it and it takes them closer or farther in the ocean
How did scientists discover that rocks farther away from the mid ocean ridge were older than the ones closer to the mid ocean ridge?
I don't believe that is possible to figure out

Summarize the evidence that supports wegner's hypothesis?
The evidence that supports Wegner's hypothesis is that in 1947 , a group of scientisits noticed two things about the Mid- Atlantic Ridge. The first thing that the scientists noticed was the sediment that covers the sea floor is thinner and younger closer to a ridge than it is farther from a ridge. Second, scientists learned that the ocean floor is very young. Radiometric dating shows that the sea floor closer to the mid-ocean ridge are younger, than the ones farther.
What evidence can prove that the ocean floor was moving?
Oceanic crust that was farther away from a mid-ocean ridge was older that crust closer to the ridge
