Which of the following increases with distance from a mid-ocean ridge?

a)the age of oceanic lithosphere

b)the depth to the sea floor

c)the thickness of the lithosphere

d)all of the above

Respuesta :

Answer:

d) all of the above

Explanation:

  • As the concept of the seafloor spreading takes place on the earth the older and more denser plates thus to move far away from the mid-oceanic ridges that is continuous source of the lava flows and is a divergent plate boundary and is thus the age, density, and the thickness of the oceanic crust increase with the distance from the ridges.

The activities that brings about the increase in distance from a mid-ocean ridge are:

the age of oceanic lithosphere

The depth to the sea floor

The thickness of the lithosphere

  • A mid-ocean ridge can be regarded as underwater mountain range which is been formed through activities of plate tectonics.

  • This uplifting of the ocean floor do take place as a result of the convection currents rising up in the mantle just some distance beneath the oceanic crust.

  • And after this  magma will be produced and this is where the two tectonic plates meet towards a divergent boundary.

  • age of oceanic lithosphere and the depth to the sea floor all bring about the increase in distance from a mid-ocean ridge

Types of Ridges are:

  1. Axial Ridge
  2. Magnetics
  3. Fast/Slow Spreading.

Therefore, option D is right
