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.
