Question

where are the youngest rocks in the earths crust found?
○ along the continental slope
○ near the boundary between ocean crust and continental crust
○ in the center of the continents
○ at the center of the mid - ocean ridge

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Mid - ocean ridges are divergent plate boundaries. New oceanic crust is formed here through volcanic activity. As the plates move apart, magma rises to fill the gap, creating new rocks. So, the youngest rocks in the Earth's crust are found at the center of the mid - ocean ridge.

Answer:

at the center of the mid - ocean ridge
