The sea floor is older than 200 million years. It has been recycled by plate tectonics. Very old rocks have survived.
The oldest age ever recorded for a human is 122 years, as achieved by Jeanne Calment from France.
Oldest can be used as a superlative adjective to describe the age or seniority of someone or something. For example, "She is the oldest sibling in her family" or "This is the oldest building in the city."
The oldest recorded age for a person is 122 years, reached by Jeanne Calment of France who was born in 1875 and passed away in 1997.
it was a female from china who died at the age of 9999999
The oldest verified age for a man is 116 years old. Jiroemon Kimura from Japan holds the Guinness World Record for the oldest man ever, living to the age of 116 years and 54 days.
The oldest rock are up to 125 million years old.
The sea floor is young (the rocks are made at the mid oceanic ridges and spread out form there) while most of the continental rocks are older. This is because the continental crust floats on top of the oceanic crust and is therefore not recycled.
oldest near ocean ridges
Age of seafloor rock and sediment increases with distance from the oceanic ridges.
The rocks on the seafloor are generally less than 200 million years old due to the process of seafloor spreading and subduction, which recycles old rocks. In contrast, some rocks on the continents can be over 4 billion years old, dating back to the formation of Earth's crust. This difference in age is attributed to the dynamic nature of plate tectonics.
Geology
The seafloor rocks of the Atlantic Ocean are generally around 200 million years old, with the youngest rocks found near the mid-Atlantic ridge, formed by seafloor spreading. As you move away from the ridge, the age of the rocks increases, with some older sections dating back to the Jurassic period. The oldest seafloor rocks are typically found near the continental margins, where they can be over 200 million years old.
in a subduction trench, because of Harry Hess' theory of sea floor spreading. Meaning that the rock is formed new at the mid-ocean ridge, and moved out towards the coasts into a subduction zone years and years later.
The pattern of seafloor age in ocean basins generally shows that the youngest seafloor is located at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity. As you move away from these ridges, the age of the seafloor increases, with older crust found near the continental margins. This pattern is a result of the process of seafloor spreading, which continuously pushes older crust away from the ridges. Consequently, the age of the seafloor increases symmetrically on either side of the mid-ocean ridges.
At the base of a continental slope. OR perhaps at the top of a fold mountain.
