I believe the answer is C. The nearer you grow to the new ocean ridge to younger the crust gets, and the overlying sediment grows thin. The crust is younger because of the rising and cooling mantle creating new crust.

Answer:

Option C, The oldest crust is closest to the mid-ocean ridge.

Explanation:

The oldest crust of sea floor is somewhere around 300 million years old. Mid-ocean ridges are the location where these crust are created and then they start moving away from each other. The continents are continuously moving away from each other since ages, hence it is for sure that the old crust would be very far away from mid-ocean ridges.

Hence, option C is the correct answer

What makes water “neutral “ (pH of 7)

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Even in pure water ions tend to form due to random processes (producing some H+ and OH- ions). The amount of H+ that is made in pure water is about equal to a pH of 7. That's why 7 is neutral. ... In pure water near room temperature, the concentration of H+ is about 10-7 moles/liter, which gives a pH of 7.

(Experiment 1: Diffusion through a liquid) Does the rate of diffusion correcspond with the molecular weight of the dye?

saveliy_v [14]

The answer to this question would be: False

The rate of diffusion should not be influenced by molecular weight. Big molecule might not be able to pass the membrane though.
Diffusion happens when there is a difference/gradient in the concentration of the molecules. If the difference is higher, then the diffusion rate will be increased.
