ANSWER:

Glomar Challenger studies about the "age of rocks in various places in the ocean" in 1968.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Glomar Challenger was a "deep sea research vessel" for marine geology and oceanography studies.
  • The vessel set out in 1968 on a "Deep Sea Drilling Program" in the Atlantic Ocean.
  • Samples were collected from various drilling locations and the study and analysis of these samples enabled the study of plate tectonics.
  • These samples also provided more information related to the rocks in oceans.
  • The vessel drilled cores containing rock salt, gypsum, anhydrite and several other evaporating minerals.
