How old are the oldest rock of the Atlantic sea floor?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is part of the greater mid-ocean ridge system, an underwater mountain range that is over 40,000 miles long. The age of new rock closest to the ridge would be roughly the same anywhere along the ridge.
Would you expect a folded mountain range at a mid ocean ridge?
Of course! Mountain ranges can be underwater! Right?...

The Himalaya in Tibet formed when two of Earth's plates collided What type of faults would I expect to find in these mountains Why?
the Himalaya mountains are a revers fault
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 is the mountain range rising above the ocean floor of the Atlantic ocean is known as the?
That would be the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
If you could collect a sample of rock from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where would you look to find the youngest rocks?
You would be looking at the solidified magma closest to the fault between the ridges.
What is the geographic relationship between the Mid-atlantic ridge the mid-Indian Ocean Ridge and the East Pacific Ridge?
Would not be surprised to find 120 degrees of separation.
Would you expect to find a folded mountain range at a mid-ocean ridge?
You would expect to find a fold mountain range at a convergent or collision boundary rather than at a divergent boundary such as a mid ocean ridge.
Where is place where seafloor spreading occurs?
One example would be...the mid-atlantic ridge.

Where would you find examples of mid ocean ridges around the world?
One Example Is The Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
Where would you be if you were located at 10 degree south AND10 degree west longitude?
You would be sitting on the mid Atlantic ridge in the middle of the ocean
