Does continental drift show that the ocean floor is always stable?
No, continental drift does not necessarily mean that the ocean floor is always stable. The ocean floor is actually in a state of constant motion due to processes like seafloor spreading and subduction. This movement can cause earthquakes, volcanic activity, and changes in the shape of the ocean basins.
Is the floor near the mid ocean old?
No. The newest ocean floor is at the mid-ocean ridge.
What is the floor of the ocean called?
The floor of the ocean is called the seabed or ocean floor. It is made up of different features such as abyssal plains, trenches, ridges, and volcanoes.
Is the ocean floor a good place for fossils to form?
A lot of shells of marine organisms wind up on the ocean floor. Bones do not last on the ocean floor, they get eaten. But shells can last.
In which layer of the Earth is the ocean floor?
The ocean floor is located on the Earth's outermost layer called the crust. It is part of the crust that is covered by water, forming the ocean basins.
