The area where the sea floor is oldest is in the area of the subduction zone near an ocean trench and is denoted as option C.

<h3>What is Subduction zone?</h3>

This is referred to the area which is characterized by constant collision of two or more tectonic plates.

This zone contains the oldest sea floor because the oldest ocean crust is being pushed under a continental crust and destroyed and is usually farther from the mid-ocean ridges.

Which planets move in a retrograde motion?
Trava [24]

Answer:

All of the planets move around the Sun in a direct (eastward) direction, but three of them (Venus, Uranus and Pluto) rotate in a retrograde (westward) direction, and are said to have a retrograde rotation. Do not confuse revolution, or motion around an orbit, with rotation, or turning about an axis.

Which of the following is NOT a sign of globalization?
sweet-ann [11.9K]
<span>Cell phones is, IPod is, Blue Jeans is. Of course, sandals is not a sign of globalisation. As the proverb goes, "Necessity is the mother of invention." In all continents, there has always been a need to have something on the foot. When the need for something becomes imperative, you are forced to find ways of getting or achieving it, but then the need for a sandals doesn't creates a kind of interaction with people, states, or countries on cultural, religious, political, or ideologically grounds. Sandals doesn't make the human race one big family on any grounds, but then take Cell phone. Cell phones and iPods have in no small way broken the obstacles and challenges the world faces. I can communicate with Admin in secs even though he lives thousands of miles away. On the other hand, a blue Jeans is, too, because many people in different countries have embraced a foreign culture, or mode of dressing of europeans and are sharing a similar culture.</span>

Examine the five words and/or phrases and determine the relationship among the majority of words/phrases. Choose the one option
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Abyssal Hill

Explanation:

The given words/phrases are directly related to the seafloor spreading process.

In the case of divergent plate motion, plates move in the opposite direction. Due to this, the thickness of the lithosphere decrease and with the increasing time, it results in the eruption of magma at the seafloor. In the ocean basin, these magmas erupt along the mid-oceanic ridge, and in the continental areas, it leads to the formation of a rift and later forms a rift valley.

Some of the segments of the mid-oceanic ridge in the oceans are quite gentle with no roughness along the slope and some segments are steep and rough. It occurs because of the differences in the spreading rate, and this is commonly known as oceanic rise. The rocks that are formed at the mid-oceanic ridge are the youngest of all other rocks.

The odd one here is the abyssal hill, which is formed generally at the seafloor. When the areas at the abyssal plains are comprised of large deposits of sediments forming a hill, then it is called an abyssal hill. It is not related to the seafloor spreading. It is simply a feature of the ocean floor.
