Which point in the rift zone has the youngest rock?

Geography
1 answer:
yuradex [85]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

b) point B

Explanation:

The point B would have the youngest rocks at the rift zone. The reason for that is that point B is located right on the place where the new crust is formed. That is the place of separation of the tectonic plates. The magma rises from the astenosphere and reaches the surface. As it does, it cools off and creates new rocks, thus new crust, right where the point B is. The continuous pilling up of new crust at the divergent boundary also results in pushing away the older crust, thus we will always have a situation where the youngest rocks are located right where the fault is.

This would be the legend!
The legend of a map tells you for example that a square means a capital city.

A title helps you understand what the map focuses on (for example: " A Political map of Italy").
