Question

Where in the oceans would the layer of sediment covering the seafloor generally be thinnest?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Sediments are typically laid down in layers, or strata, usually in a body of water. On the seafloor, sediments are thinnest near spreading centers (young seafloor) and thicker away from the ridge, where the seafloor is older and has more time to accumulate. Sediments are also much thickest near continents.
