Question

Compared to the mid-ocean ridge, sediment near the continents is :

thicker

thinner

older

the same

Answer 1

ik im late but the correct answer is actually 'thicker' lol

Answer 2

Option C, Older

Step-by-step explanation:

Thick & thin sediments are formed on old and younger crust respectively. The sediments formed in the oceanic ridge are young and hence their thickness is less than the thickness of sediments in the continental regions. Also the continental regions are near to lithogenous sediment, therefore they consists of thick sediment deposits formed since ages.
