How does sediment that is closer to a mid ocean ridge compare to sediment that is farther away?
it is older
How does sediment that is closer to a mid-ocean ridge compare to sediment that is farther away?
Sediment closer to a mid-ocean ridge is typically younger, thinner, and composed of more volcanic material compared to sediment farther away. This is because the ridge is a site of active seafloor spreading where new oceanic crust is formed, leading to a higher rate of sedimentation near the ridge.
How does sediment that is closer to a mid ocean ridge compare to sediment that is father away?
It's thinner
Why is there less sediment closer to the mid ocean ridge?
The basaltic crust becomes newer the closer it is to the ridge and has therefore had less time of exposure to sedimentation. New crustal rock is formed at the mid-oceanic ridge. An inch or two a year.
How does sediment that is closer to a mid ocean ridge compare in sediment that is father away?
Sediment closer to a mid-ocean ridge tends to be younger, coarser, and more abundant due to the higher rate of volcanic and tectonic activity in those areas. In contrast, sediment farther away from the ridge is older, finer, and less abundant as it has had more time to accumulate and undergo erosion.
Is Crowley's Ridge related with any earthquakes or volcanoes?
No, the ridge is primarily composed of the windblown glacially derived sediment.
What does the sediment the is closer to mid ocean ridge compare to sediment that is farther away?
Sediment closer to mid-ocean ridges is typically younger, coarser, and consists of more volcanic material compared to sediment farther away. This is because the closer proximity to the ridge results in a higher input of freshly erupted material from the underlying volcanic activity.
The sediment deposited at the edge of a glacier forms a ridge called a?
