What are rifts and what kinds of eruptions would you expect?
a rift is a crack cause by plates moving apart along ocean ridges. You could expect fissure eruptions.
Where are the elder parts of the ocean floor located?
Oceanic crust is created at mid-ocean ridges and (through the creation of new oceanic crust) is pushed toward a convergent plate boundary where it is subducted. So the oldest oceanic crust would be located at a convergent plate boundary where the oceanic crust is being subducted under continental crust.
Which ocean would you find divergent plate boundaries?
The Oceans that are associated with divergent plates boundary includes; Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Antarctic Ocean and Indian Ocean.
Are the oldest rocks of the oceanic crust found in deep ocean trenches far away from active mid-ocean ridges?
That is normally where they would be found; farthest away from the point at which they were initially formed.
What are some convergent plate boundary?
convergent boundaries are easy to find most of them are found in the ocean. One Famous convergent plate boundary would be the Sunda Double Trench. It is found in the Indian ocean and it reaches a depth of 24,440 feet. It is the deepest trench in the Indian Ocean.
Would the youngest ocean plate be foung at mid ocean ridges or continent edges?
At the ridges, where new oceanic crust is created.
Where would two plates move apart at mid-oceanic ridges?
at a divergent plate boundary
In which location would an ocean ridge?
The mid-ocean ridge is almost in all of the oceans
Would you expect to see a folded mountain range at an ocean ridge?
No. A mid-ocean ridges is a divergent boundary. You find folded mountain at convergent plate boundaries.
What kind of faults would you expect to find in the mid Atlantic Ridge?
Transform and normal faults form along mid-ocean ridges such as the Mid-Atlantic ridge.
What are rifts and what kinds of eruptions would you expect?
a rift is a crack cause by plates moving apart along ocean ridges. You could expect fissure eruptions.
What locations on earth would have more heat?
mid-ocean ridges
Would you expect to see folded mountains range at mid ocean ridges?
Yes
Where are the elder parts of the ocean floor located?
Oceanic crust is created at mid-ocean ridges and (through the creation of new oceanic crust) is pushed toward a convergent plate boundary where it is subducted. So the oldest oceanic crust would be located at a convergent plate boundary where the oceanic crust is being subducted under continental crust.
What causes oceanic trenches?
Deep ocean trenches are made where one plate is submerged under another
Where would you find examples of mid ocean ridges around the world?
One Example Is The Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
Where are the oldest rocks located in the ocean crust?
The oldest rocks on the ocean floor would be those at the colliding edge of the plate boundary.Answer 2: The oldest of all oceanic rocks are on the Asian side of the pacific plate.
