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.

What marks the site where old oceanic lithosphere begins its descent into a subduction zone?

The site where old oceanic lithosphere begins its descent into a subduction zone is marked by a deep oceanic trench. Trenches are long, narrow depressions in the ocean floor that form where two tectonic plates converge and one is forced beneath the other. This process is associated with intense seismic activity and volcanic arcs.


What happens at mid ocean ridges?

A mid-ocean ridge is a a long, seismically active submarine ridge system situated in the middle of an ocean basin and marking the site of the upwelling of magma associated with seafloor spreading.

What is the midatlantic ridge?

The Mid-Atlanic Ridge is the divergent boundary that is responsible for seafloor spreading. Consisting mostly of divergent boundaries, with transform faults as well, this is the site where new oceanic crust is added, increasing the size of the ocean. This location is dotted with underwater volcanoes as igneous basaltic magma is added to fill in the gap left as the oceanic plates drift away.
