Where does the oldest rock take place at on the ocean floor in sea-floor spreading?
Far from the mid oceanic ridge, near the continental margin (oldest oceanic rock ages 200 mya)
How does the age of oldest continental crust compare to the age oldest ocean crust?
The oldest continental crust is significantly older than the oldest oceanic crust. The oldest continental rocks, found in regions like Canada and Australia, are over 4 billion years old. In contrast, the oldest oceanic crust, located at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, is only about 200 million years old, as it is continuously created and destroyed through the process of plate tectonics. This stark difference highlights the stability and longevity of continental crust compared to the dynamic nature of oceanic crust.
How old is the oceanic crust?
It varies, but the oldest part is 180 million years old
Who is the oldest active filipino actor?
The oldest active Filipino actor is Eddie Garcia, who passed away in 2019 at the age of 90.
Where are the elder parts of the ocean floor located?
Oceanic crust is created at mid-ocean ridges and (through the creation of new oceanic crust) is pushed toward a convergent plate boundary where it is subducted. So the oldest oceanic crust would be located at a convergent plate boundary where the oceanic crust is being subducted under continental crust.

How does the age of the oldest continental crust compared to the age of the oldest oceanic crust?
The oldest continental crust would be between three and one half to four billion years older than the oldest oceanic crust. This is due to the fact that ocean plates are subducted under the continental plates, subjected to partial melt and essentially recycled in the mantle before reforming.
What features of the ocean floor is the deepest?
The ocean basins are the result of tectonic forces and processes. All of the ocean basins were formed from volcanic rock that was released from fissures located at the mid-oceanic ridges. The oldest rocks found in these basins are approximately 200 million years old. This is a lot younger than the oldest continental rocks which have ages greater than 4 billion years. The reason for this discrepancy is simple. Tectonic processes destroy old oceanic rocks! Oceanic rock is returned to the Earth's mantlewhen oceanic crust is subducted. Many of these subduction zones occur at the continental marginswhere oceanic crust meets continental crust. Subduction also creates the ocean's deep trenches.
Is Pete Carroll the oldest NFL coach?
