Title: Samples from the seafloor around the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the East Pacific Ris
Post by: barry on Aug 31, 2013
Samples from the seafloor around the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the East Pacific Rise show that both areas have been creating new material in the last five million years. Samples from the East Pacific Rise show the five million year old seafloor is three times as wide as similarly aged material from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. What does this say about the rate of seafloor growth in the East Pacific?
A) The seafloor at both sites is growing at the same rate
B) The seafloor at the East Pacific Rise is growing more slowly
C) The seafloor at the Mid-Atlantic is growing more quickly
D) The seafloor at the Mid-Atlantic is growing more slowly
