Question

the map below shows a tectonic plate boundary in the atlantic ocean between south america and africa. letters a, b, c, and d represent locations on earths surface. the most recently formed oceanic crust would be located closest to location a b c d

Explanation:

At mid - ocean ridges (like the Mid - Atlantic Ridge), new oceanic crust is formed. Location C is closest to the Mid - Atlantic Ridge. As magma rises at the ridge, it cools and forms new crust. The further away from the ridge (like locations A, B, and D), the older the oceanic crust is.

Answer:

C
