Is the analysis of seafoor sediments evidence of sea-floor spreading?
Not really but sea floor sediments thickness increase with increased distance from spreading centers which is good evidence. Other evidence such as magnetic reversals, temperature, dating methods provide the best evidence of seafloor spreading
What is the relationship between sea floor sediment thickness and mid-ocean ridge distance?
The further away a point is from the mid-ocean ridge, the deeper the sediment layer should be. Because the ocean floor is relatively new nearer the ridge, sediments have had less time to accumulate.
What is the relationship between the distance from a river delta into the ocean and the size of sediments deposited on the ocean floor?
The further from the delta, the finer the sediments deposited.
What are the three types of the ocean floor sediments?
The three types of ocean floor sediments are Terrigenous, Biogenous, and Hydrogenous sediments.
True or false sea floor sediments gradually thicken away from a mid-ocean ridge?
False. Sea floor sediments do not gradually thicken away from a mid-ocean ridge. Instead, the thickness of sediments can vary significantly depending on factors such as proximity to sources of sediment input, ocean currents, and tectonic activity.
What are the three types of ocean sediments?
The three types of ocean floor sediments are Terrigenous, Biogenous, and Hydrogenous sediments.
What is the recommended plywood thickness for floor installation?
The recommended plywood thickness for floor installation is typically 3/4 inch.
How does the age of seafloor sediments change the increasing distance from the oceans ridge?
age increases
What comprises the actual sea floor beneath sediments?
Basalt!
How are ocean floor sediments classified by physical compositions?
Meow
What is true about the thickness and age of sediments at different locations on the ocean floor that supports seafloor spreading?
Seafloor spreading is supported by the observation that sediments are thinner and younger near mid-ocean ridges, where new crust is formed, and become progressively thicker and older as one moves away from the ridge. This pattern indicates that as new oceanic crust is created at the ridge, it pushes older crust outward, allowing sediment to accumulate over time. Additionally, the age of the sediments correlates with their distance from the ridge, providing strong evidence for the continuous process of seafloor spreading.
The three types of ocean floor sediments are classified according to their?
