Answer:
D. Seafloor bedrock is younger near the ridge and older farther away.
Explanation:
In a divergence boundary oceanic plates or continental plates move apart. The plates moves apart causing an uprising of molten magma to form a new crust. The divergent movement of plate is very prevalent in the oceanic plates.
The plates in the oceanic crust moves apart due to the up welling of aesthenosphere materials . These aesthenosphere materials(molten magma) are introduce to the ocean floor through the mid oceanic ridge . As this materials are introduced through cracks and fissures, the plates continue to drift apart. The molten magma later solidified to form a new crust closer to the oceanic ridge. This is why sea floor bedrock closer to the ridge is younger as new rocks are formed here. But as one move farther away from the ridge the rocks become older. This phenomenon provide ample evidence that the seafloor is spreading. The older rocks found father away from the ridge proves the seafloor has been spreading given way for new rocks closer to the ridge.
The plate labeled with A is the South American plate, the one labeled with B is the African plate, and the one labeled with C is the Australian plate.
Explanation:
The three plates that are marked on this map are the South American, African, and Australian (Indo-Australian) plates. All of these three plates have a core of continental crust which is surrounded by oceanic crust. The three continents on these plates are South America, Africa, and Australia (plus the subcontinent of India). Despite the three continents being separated by oceans between them at present, it was not like that throughout the past.
- In the distant past these three continents were merged, being part of Gondwanaland, accompanied by India and Antarctica as well.
- Divergent boundaries arose between them though, so they started moving apart and gradually formed new continents.
- As it stands, there is no evidence that these plates will merge again in the next few million years, as the South American plate moves west, the African is actually splitting into two plates, and the Australian is moving toward northeast.
