How does the age of sea floor sediments change with increasing distance from the ocean ridge? a) their age stays the same b)their age decreases c) their age varies without a pattern d)their age increases

D) their age increases

Option (D)

Explanation:

In a divergent plate motion, the plates move away from one another. As a result of this, the magma comes out to the ocean floor along the mid-oceanic ridge. The new materials are added to the crust along this mid-oceanic ridge. The rocks that are present near the mid-oceanic ridge are the younger rocks as the magma after ejection cools and solidifies. With the continuous eruptions, these rocks get shifted away from this ridge. So with the increasing distance from the mid-oceanic ridge, the age of the seafloor sediments increases.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

well first you need the sample of the temperature and gas level. i couldnt write a hypothesis unless i had some data. i think temperature changes will effect volumes of gas because gas changed into a solid or liquid at specific temperatures.

the correct answer is option d.

an appositive is a noun, noun phrase or noun clause which follows another noun or noun phrase in order to describe it or name it another way. they are usually used between commas, brackets or dashes.

the example sentence with the correct use of commas is the following:

her uncle, the man over there in the red shirt, owns the hardware store in town.
