The rocks near the mid-ocean ridge at Axial Seamount are generally younger than those found in Oregon. This is because new oceanic crust is formed at the ridge through volcanic activity, resulting in younger rock formations. In contrast, the rocks in Oregon are part of the continental crust, which has been subjected to tectonic processes over a much longer geological time frame, making them older than the newly formed rocks at Axial.

How do you the ages of rock layers change as you go from the axial plane and anticline out words towards the limbs?
As you move outward from the axial plane of an anticline towards the limbs, the ages of rock layers typically become progressively older. In an anticline, the oldest rock layers are located at the core, or axial plane, while younger layers are found on the outer limbs. This results from the folding process, where younger sediments are deposited on top of older ones, creating a sequence that reveals a chronological arrangement as you move away from the center. Thus, the age of the rock layers increases from the axial plane outward towards the limbs.
How do scientists explain older and younger rock placement on the ocean floor?
They measure how far away the rock is from the mid-ocean ridge. The farther, the older.
