What happens when you move roks away from the ocan ridge?

Answer 1

They increase in age and density, and decrease in temperature.

Answer 2

When rocks are moved away from the ocean ridge, the gap created is eventually filled by magma rising up from the mantle below. This process is known as seafloor spreading, where new oceanic crust is formed as magma solidifies and creates a new ocean floor. Over time, this continuous spreading and creation of new oceanic crust causes the ocean basin to widen.

Answer 3

The age of the ocean floor increases as you move away from a mid-ocean-ridge.

Answer 4

As one moves farther away from an ocean ridge, the age of the rocks and the seafloor increases. This process is called seafloor spreading.

Answer 5

The rocks will cool down and become more dense.
