Sorry, you have it entirely reversed.
What else can I help you with?
Is the oceanic crust near a mid-ocean ridge thicker or thinner than the oceanic crust away from the mid-ocean ridge?
The Oceanic Crust close to the Mid Ocean Ridge is thinner than that Oceanic Crust far away from the ridge. This is due to tensional forces, as a result of crustal expansion and rock fracturing during the formation of the ridge.the oceanic crust is thinner
Where does the oceanic crust begin?
The oceanic crust begins at the Mid-Ocean Ridge, where tectonic plates are moving apart, allowing magma to rise and solidify, forming new crust. This process of seafloor spreading creates the youngest oceanic crust at the ridge and older crust farther away from it.
How does the age of oceanic crust compare to the age of continental crust?
Oceanic crust is generally younger than continental crust. Oceanic crust is continuously formed at mid-ocean ridges through volcanic activity and then gradually moves away from the ridge, undergoing processes that make it relatively young compared to the older continental crust.
How does evidence that rocks farther from a ridge are older than rocks closer to the ridge support the idea of sea floor spreading?
The evidence that rocks farther from a ridge are older than rocks closer to the ridge supports the idea of sea floor spreading because it aligns with the concept of a divergent boundary where new oceanic crust is continuously formed at the ridge and gradually moves away from the ridge over time. This process allows for the creation of age gradients in the oceanic crust, with the youngest rocks found near the ridge and progressively older rocks located farther away.
What is the role of the mid ocean ridge in the movement lithosphere plates?
The mid-ocean ridge is where new oceanic crust is formed as tectonic plates pull apart. This process, known as seafloor spreading, allows magma to rise from the mantle, solidify, and create new oceanic crust. As the crust forms at the mid-ocean ridge, it pushes older crust away, driving the movement of lithospheric plates.
Is oceanic crust near the mid-ocean ridge older thean oceanic crust farther away from the ridge?
Its oceanic crust
Is oceanic crust near a mid ocean ridge older than oceanic crust far away?
Sorry, you have it entirely reversed.
What evidence can prove that the ocean floor was moving?
Oceanic crust that was farther away from a mid-ocean ridge was older that crust closer to the ridge
Is Older oceanic crust found at the center of mid-ocean ridge?
No farther away
What evidence proved the ocean floor was moving?
oceanic crust that was farther away from a mid-ocean ridge was older than crust closer to the ridge
Isochrons on the sea floor are located where?
Isochrons on the sea floor are located at the mid-ocean ridges. They represent the age of the oceanic crust and are created as new crust forms at the ridge axis and moves away from it over time. Older crust is farther from the ridge, while younger crust is closer to the ridge.

Oceanic crust near the mid ocean ridge is younger than oceanic crust farther away from the ridge?
hit the books!!
Is oceanic crust near the mid ocean ridge younger than oceanic crust farther from the ridge?
haha i really dont know
Is the Mid-Oceanic Ridge in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean?
One of the midocean ridges is, but others are in other oceans, seas, and bays.
Is the mid ocean ridge the location of the oldest ocean floor?
No, the mid-ocean ridge is actually where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity. As the crust moves away from the ridge, it becomes older. The oldest oceanic crust is found near the edges of the ocean basins.
Is oceanic crust near the mid ocean ridge younger than oceanic crust farther away from the ridge?
haha i really dont know
