What else can I help you with?
Are rocks living things in the ocean?
No, rocks are not alive. Rocks are not alive in the ocean or sea or on land
Where are the oldest rocks in the ocean crust?
The oldest rocks are actually on land but in the ocean crust they would be the rocks closest to land. The mid-ocean ridge forms new rocks. They are usually located in the middle of the ocean.
Which scientist studies rocks and ocean basins?
A geologist studies rocks, while an oceanographer studies ocean basins. Marine geologists specifically study the rocks and geological features of the ocean floor.
Where most salt in ocean water come?
leh rocks :D The sea erodes the rocks in the ocean and over time, the rocks become salt
Where are the youngest rocks in the ocean located?
mid-ocean ridges
The youngest rocks on the ocean floor are located where?
The youngest rocks on the ocean floor are located at mid-ocean ridges. These ridges are always found at divergent boundaries.
Why do you think that old rocks are rare one ocean floor?
There are no rocks on the ocean floor because they turn to sand. The moving of the water gradually wears away at the rocks.
Where can you find the youngest rocks on the ocean floor?
The youngest rocks on the ocean floor are typically found along mid-ocean ridges. These areas are where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity and the process of seafloor spreading. As the magma cools and solidifies, it creates new rocks that are relatively young compared to rocks found in other parts of the ocean floor.
What kinds of rocks are in the ocean?
The ocean floor is mainly basalt. Closer to the poles you would occassionally find a glacial erratic, dropped from a melting iceberg.
The youngest rocks in the ocean floor are located at the mid ocean?
Ridges
Where does the salt come from in the Atlantic Ocean?
Salt comes from rocks. When water wears down rocks at the beach particles of sand are washed into the ocean.
What kinds of rocks are associated with ocean ridges?
Basalt rocks are commonly associated with ocean ridges due to the process of seafloor spreading where magma rises to the surface, cools, and solidifies. These basaltic rocks form the oceanic crust along the ridges.
