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 feature is the result of a glacier carving out rock as it moves?
slavikrds [6]
The features that result as a form of a glacier carving out rock and forms into the landscape over which it slides are called cirques. When a glacier moves it erodes the surface of the earth beneath it. In this process of erosion large boulders and very small pebbles all get caught up in the path of the glacier and move along with it. This moment causes deep depressions into the earth, changing the landscape. The deposition of rocks and silt from a melting glacier also changes the form of the land over which the glacier moves.
