As distance from the mid atlantic ridge increases what change in the age of the sea floor is observed?

1. Divergent plate boundaries. The uplift of magma at the mid-ocean ridge is pushing the two plates apart.
2. The sea floor is older the further away from the mid-ocean ridge. (i.e. New crust is being formed at the mid -ocean ridge and pushing the older crust away.
3. 1 km = 100,000 cm / 3 per yr. = 33,333 years
4. rift zones, pillow basalts, black smokers, etc.

How does permittivity of air change with altitude?
decreases with increasing altitude. as altitude increases so does the distance between the air molecules. increasing distance between air molecules leads to increased resistance to flow.
Measure of change in elevation in a certain distance is called what?
The measure of change in elevation in a certain distance is called gradient.
How does the temperature of the troposphere change as altitude increases?
As the altitude increases, the temperature in the troposphere will decrease. The troposphere is the lowest portion of planet's atmosphere.
How does temperature change with depth in Earth's crust?
The temperature increases with increasing depth within Earth's crust.
Chemical properties observed only when a substance undergoes a chemical change a true bfalse?
true
How does the force of graviti change with mass and distance?
as distance increases gravity's force decreases as mass increases gravity's force increases
Force of attraction that decreases as distance increases?
The force of attraction that decreases as distance increases will change inversely to the square of the distance. This is true for any two objects.
How does the age of seafloor sediments change with increasing distance from the ocean ridge?
Age of seafloor rock and sediment increases with distance from the oceanic ridges.
How does the slope of a distance vs time graph change when there is acceleration?
The slope increases.
How does the intensity of a sound wave change if the distance from the source increases by a factor of 2?
The intensity increases by a factor of 4-APEX
When a simple machine increases the force you exert what other factors change?
The distance of the object
How does the age of seafloor sediments change the increasing distance from the ocean ridge?
age increases
If force increases and distance remains same what happens to the amount of work done?
not change
How does gravitational force change if distance decreased by half?
The gravitational force then increases by a factor of 4 .
What happens to the image distance as the object distance increases?
the focal length of the eye lens is adjusted so that the image distance does not change.
What if mass stays the same and distance increases?
The force of gravity between two objects will decrease in proportion to the square of the change of distance between them.
How would the period of a planet change as its distance fro the sun increases?
the planet would have its year shorter
