Where are the youngest rocks on the ocean floor typically found?
fault line
The youngest rocks on the ocean floor are located?
The youngest part of the ocean floor is found at conservative plate boundaries where oceanic crust is pulled apart and magma rises from the mantle to form new oceanic crust.
Where are the youngest rocks found on the seafloor?
Near fault lines, it is there that rocks are created by the rubbing or colliding of the tectonic plates. Rocks could also be made by volcanoes via the cooling of magma and lava. The closer to the fault line you are the newer the rock and the farther away you get the older the rock becomes.
What is the length of the Explorer Ridge?
The length of the Explorer Ridge is 150 miles. This mid-ocean ridge is a divergent tectonic plate that is located near Vancouver Island in Canada.
What is the mid Atlantic ridge how long does it stretch?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a mid-ocean ridge, a divergent tectonic plate or constructive plate boundary located along the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. The mid-Atlantic ridge splits nearly the entire Atlantic Ocean north to south - it's a divergent plate boundary. 10,000 km long.
Is the floor near the mid ocean old?
No. The newest ocean floor is at the mid-ocean ridge.
Where are the youngest rock on the ocean floor found?
Near the mid-Atlantic ridge.
Where are the youngest rocks on the ocean floor typically found?
fault line
Are the youngest rock on the ocean floor near or far from mid- ocean ridges?
Is the following sentence true or false? the theory of sea-floor spreading explains why rocks of the ocean floor are youngest near the mid-ocean ridge.____
Why is the rock farther from the ocean ridge is older than the rock near the mid ocean ridge?
By determining the age of rock samples obtained by drilling on the sea floor.
The youngest rocks on the ocean floor are located?
The youngest part of the ocean floor is found at conservative plate boundaries where oceanic crust is pulled apart and magma rises from the mantle to form new oceanic crust.
What is the name of the ship that collected rock samples that proved the ocean floor is younger near the mid-ocean ridge?
Glomar challenger
How does the ocean floor near the center slit differ from the ocean floor near the side slit?
The ocean floor near the side slit is colder, denser, and older than the ocean floor near the center slit
Where are the youngest rocks found on the seafloor?

Do squids live in dens near the floor of the ocean?
yes the live near the ocean floor!!
Where does the oldest rock take place at on the ocean floor in sea-floor spreading?
Far from the mid oceanic ridge, near the continental margin (oldest oceanic rock ages 200 mya)
Do squids live in dens on the ocean floor?
Yes, they do live in den's near the ocean floor!
