How does the age of seafloor sediment change with increasing distance from the ocean ridge?

The sediments of the seafloor, the further they are from the ocean ridge, the older they are, and vice versa, the closer they are to the ocean ridge, the younger they are.

This redistribution of the age of the seafloor is due to the way the new crust forms. The new crust is forming where there's a divergent tectonic boundary between two oceanic plates. Because they leave a gap between them, the magma from the mantle manages to come to the surface. As it comes to the surface it starts to create the ocean ridge, which is essentially an underwater mountain range. Because the magma is constantly pushing and more and more material is coming out, the seafloor i pushed sideways constantly, thus the oldest sediments are the furthest, and the youngest are on the ocean ridge itself.

Which of the following is not essential in the formation of black shale units?
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

B. Aerobic bottom water

D. High organic productivity in the overlying oxygen rich water

Explanation:

A Shale is a sedimentary rock usually formed from silt and clay-size mineral. There are different colors of Shale. The Black Shale is formed under anaerobic conditions. This means that oxygen is deficient in the water where the Shale forms.

A little amount of organic materials is required for the formation of Black Shale and because Black Shale is formed in an environment lacking oxygen, an oxygen-rich water would not be necessary for its growth. Sediments are necessary in the formation of Black Shale.
