The current accepted theory is that the ocean pates are subducted (dive) down toward the earth's interior at the ocean trenches. A major problem with this is that there are not nearly enough trenches to take all the ocean plates. So it has been proposed that the trenches are actually a very deep, wide crack in the ocean floor filled with water and sediment and that molten rock from far below flows toward this now lighter region but forces up mountains over a batholith (a huge mass of molten magma) before it reaches the trench. For further discussion of this see http://charles_w.tripod.com/trenches.html
No. The newest ocean floor is at the mid-ocean ridge.
The floor of the ocean is called the seabed or ocean floor. It is made up of different features such as abyssal plains, trenches, ridges, and volcanoes.
A lot of shells of marine organisms wind up on the ocean floor. Bones do not last on the ocean floor, they get eaten. But shells can last.
The crust contains the ocean floor and also the continents on Earth.
The three main regions of the ocean floor are the continental margins, the ocean basins, and the mid-ocean ridges. Continental margins are the shallow, submerged edges of continents. Ocean basins are the deeper areas of the ocean floor beyond the continental margins. Mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges where tectonic plates move apart and magma rises to create new oceanic crust.

No. The newest ocean floor is at the mid-ocean ridge.
There are many things that could produced the ocean floor. Dying organisms for example are one component in the ocean floor.
Most of the ocean floor is made up of ocean plains.
Songs from the Ocean Floor was created in 1998.
