Where are the youngest rocks on the ocean floor typically found?
fault line
How did scientists find out that rocks farther away from the mid-ocean ridges were older than those near it?
Scientists found out that rocks farther away from mid-ocean ridges were older through the process of radiometric dating. By analyzing the radioactive isotopes within the rocks, scientists can determine their age. The rocks closer to the mid-ocean ridges are younger because they are continually being formed at the spreading centers, while the rocks farther away are older as they have moved away from the ridge over time. This process of seafloor spreading and the age of rocks on the ocean floor provide evidence for plate tectonics.
What rocks are used to make floor tiles?
Oh, dude, floor tiles are usually made from rocks like marble, granite, limestone, and travertine. They're basically fancy rocks that people walk all over. So, next time you're strolling across your marble floor, just remember you're basically walking on a fancy boulder.
Explain how scientists date sea-floor rocks?
bum
Are there sea shells on mountains?
Yes, some mountains were once underwater, so it's possible to find sea shells on mountains. These sea shells are typically found in areas where tectonic activities have pushed the sea floor up to form mountains.

Why is owl city so awesome?
Because Adam young rocks!
What is the ocean-floor evidence of pole reversals?
in magma and lava, there are magnetic minerals, called magnetite. When new magma reaches the surface, these minerals start to align with the existing magnetic 'field' around the earth, starting at the North pole, and ending at the South pole. once the magma cools, these minerals remain at this inclination. These rocks often form on the sea floor, where 2 plates are moving apart. Every 10,000 years (or so), the magnetic poles switch. So it would start at the south pole, to the north pole. This means the inclination of the minerals would swap in new magma. So as the sea continues to spread, there is a striped appearance on the sea floor, where the are symmetrical bands of alternating magnetically inclined rocks. Hope that helps :)
How do sea stars avoid being washed out to sea?
they have special suckers attached to their points so that they can stay on rocks and such like.
Where do tsunamis get their destructive power?
The source of energy is from movement of the sea floor or sediment on the sea floor. This movement displaces some water and so gives energy to the water.
Is Brazilian cherry a good hardwood floor?
Yes, it is a very good floor, but it does scratch easily. So if you have young kids or pets it would'nt be a good floor

At what boundary does sea-floor spreading occur?
Consider. In sea-floor spreading, the plates are spreading apart; in other words diverging. So sea-floor spreading occurs at a divergent boundary,
Why sulphide compounds generally found as rocks whereas chlorine compounds generally found in sea water?
Most of the metallic sulphides are insoluble in water so such compounds can not move with rivers to the sea so their maximum ratio is in rocks form.
Where does it live oysters?
in the sea at the bottom of the sea. Oysters live on the sea floor or attached to rocks. In salt water.
What is the grand bank why did Cabot find so many fish there?
because the sea floor is elavated.
