Question

Are the Earth's ocean floor and continents the same age geologically? Why or why not?

a. No, the continents are much younger because new crust forms there.
b. No, the ocean floor is much younger because new crust forms there.
c. Yes, both the ocean floor and continents are constantly forming new crust.
d. Yes, both the ocean floor and continents were formed at the same time.

Answer 1

b. No, the ocean floor is much younger because new crust forms there.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ocean floor is geologically much younger, since new oceanic crust is constantly being formed at mid-ocean ridges, and old crust is subducted and recycled.
