The oldest rocks are farthest from the mid-oceanic regions, youngest rocks are closest to the mid-oceanic regions where the ages of ocean floor rocks show a characteristic distribution pattern. The pattern of magnetic anomalies on the seafloor most resembles stripes parallel to the mid-ocean ridges.
Answer:
The ages of ocean floor rocks show a characteristic distribution pattern where Younger rocks are close to the mid oceanic ridge and oldest rocks are far away from mid oceanic ridge.
Explanation:
The youngest rocks are present in the close to the origin of volcanism and oldest rocks are far away from the origin of volcanism, this evidence substantiates the plate tectonics theory and it is other wise known as Sea floor spreading. Spreading the rock material across both sides of the ridges. Both sides of the rocks had the identical polarity, similar ages, similar composition of rocks and so on.
