Question

Considering what you know about how the sea floor is formed and how it moves, from the three choices below, where would you think the sea floor is oldest and why? Explain.
a) near the divergent plate boundary (Mid-oceanic ridge).

b) directly between the divergent and convergent boundaries.

c) in the area of the subduction zone near an ocean trench.

Answer 1

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.

What is Subduction zone?

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.
