Rocks in ocean crust are as old as years.?
200 million
How old are the oldest rocks of the ocean?
Less than 200 Million years old.
How old are rocks in ocean crust?
The age of rocks in the ocean crust depends on where the rocks are collected. Scientists collected rock samples from the sea floor. They found out that rock samples that were closer to mid-ocean ridges were younger than the samples farther away from the ridges. So pretty much you could get rocks that are thousands of years old to over millions of year old.
Rocks in ocean crust are as old as years?
Rocks in ocean crust range in age from very young (less than a million years old) at the mid-ocean ridges to much older (up to hundreds of millions of years old) at the subduction zones. The age of ocean crust rocks provides valuable information about the history of tectonic plate movement and the evolution of the oceans.
Rocks in ocean crust are as old as?
200 million
Are rocks living things in the ocean?
No, rocks are not alive. Rocks are not alive in the ocean or sea or on land
Are oceanic rocks billion years old?
No. Oceanic crust is recycled into the mantle through a process called subduction and new ocean floor is formed at mid-ocean ridges. None of the ocean floor is more than about 180 million years old. Some rocks on the continents are billions of years old.
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.
