Answer: The seafloor exhibit thickest sediment layer near the continents.

Explanation:

In the seafloor the sediments are laid down in the form of strata or layer, in the body of water. Sediments are found to be thinnest near the spreading centers and found thicker away from the ridge.

At the ridge the seafloor accumulates more sand, organic sediments from aquatic plants and animals as the time passes. But the sediments are the thickest near the continents.

Sediments are typically laid down in layers, or strata, usually in a body of water. On the seafloor, sediments are thinnest near spreading centers (young seafloor) and thicker away from the ridge, where the seafloor is older and has more time to accumulate. Sediments are also much thickest near continents.

artcher [175]

In the short-term, The French-Indian War or The Seven Years War expanded the British colonial territory in North America by an enormous amount and removed potential competitors in early westward expansion. In the long-term, it resulted in extreme national debt in Britain, bringing about dictatorial control of its colonies so it could alleviate economic stress. First came the passing of the Proclamation of 1763, which stopped all westward movement by its American colonies past the Appalachian Mountains (they hoped to make Native Americans and the Spanish buy land), then several new Acts like the Stamp Act were passed which taxed goods like paper, and eventually, as some historians interpret, led to the American Revolution.
