Sorry, you have it entirely reversed.
It is younger because the plates there pull apart, causing a new sea floor to form. When a hotspot is involved, it will push away the old sea floor to make room for the new one.
Yes.The crust near oceanic ridges are younger since the crust is created here.Constant under water volcanic activities through the ridges pushes apart new oceanic floor only to be consumed at deep sea trenches,where the crust is definitely older.
A divergent boundary is a linear feature between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other. The crust near a divergent boundary is younger compared to the crust farther away from the boundary.
No, actually its the farther it goes from the ridge the older and the thicker it gets.
Rock samples near deep sea trenches are older then near ocean ridges
True
The Oceanic Crust close to the Mid Ocean Ridge is thinner than that Oceanic Crust far away from the ridge. This is due to tensional forces, as a result of crustal expansion and rock fracturing during the formation of the ridge.the oceanic crust is thinner
New rock is formed near the mid-oceanic ridge as oceanic plates diverge or separate from each other. Hot rocks rising from the asthenosphere melt from decompression as they rise, filling the fault and forming new basaltic oceanic crust. As new crust is added, older crust is pushed away. Therefore, the further away from the mid-oceanic ridge, the older the crustal rocks.
Crust creation and plate divergence.
New oceanic crust is being created at the mid-ocean ridges.
No, the crust is very thin under the oceanic ridge system, making deep focus earthquakes impossible there as the crust does not have the required depth for such earthquakes.
Its oceanic crust
Sorry, you have it entirely reversed.
Oceanic crust that was farther away from a mid-ocean ridge was older that crust closer to the ridge
No farther away
oceanic crust that was farther away from a mid-ocean ridge was older than crust closer to the ridge

hit the books!!
haha i really dont know
haha i really dont know
One of the midocean ridges is, but others are in other oceans, seas, and bays.
created
Granitic crust does not form at the mid-oceanic ridge. Rather another type of igneous rock Basalt is formed at the Mid-Oceanic ridge. Both are silicate rocks and have a high oxygen and silica content. The difference is that Granite is formed intrusively, that is within the Earth's crust. Basalt is extrusive, that is it is formed above the Earth's surface, such as at the bottom of the ocean at the Mid-Oceanic ridge.
