What would you expect to find if you measured the temperatures of rocks on the ocean floor at various distances from a mid-ocean ridge?
If one was measuring the temperatures of rocks on the seafloor, the hottest rocks would be located nearest to a mid ocean ridge. This is the location where the hot magma from the asthenosphere rises and is situated on either side of the ridge. The farther away the seafloor is from the central area of heat, the colder it is. This pattern is identical on both sides of a mid ocean ridge. However, if rocks are located near subduction zones or hot spots, they too would be hotter than the majority of the seafloor.
