Answer:

The age of seafloor rock increases as the distance from the mid-ocean ridge increases.

Explanation:

Mid-ocean ridges are a physical feature that occurs at divergent plate boundaries when the plate boundary is located in the ocean. This physical feature occurs because of more than usual intense activity in the upper mantle, resulting in cracking the crust and splitting up a tectonic plate, making the two, now divided pieces, to move away from each other.

The gap that is opening up between the plates is constantly filled with magma. The magma quickly cools off, creates new rock, and the rock piles up. This process goes on for millions of years, so the rock that has been formed initially has been pushed far away from the mid-ocean ridge by the constant creation of new rock, so the rock at the mid-ocean ridge is the youngest, while the more the distance increases from the mid-ocean ridge, the older the rock.

Flura [38]

Answer:

<u>the Coriolis effect</u>

Explanation:

  • Coriolis force or effect is the effect that is produced due to the rotation of the earth on its axis and another physical feature is the same as the length of day and night, tidal motion by the air currents and seasonal changes on earth.
  • All these are physical characteristics or effects on the earth's surface. Coriolis force deflects the winds in the right direction as per the northern hemisphere and deflects the winds towards the left side of the southern hemisphere as the rotation of the earth at the speed of 460 meters per second for about 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.0 seconds.
  • Hence,  producing equinoxes and solstices.
