The ocean's oldest sediments are foundfar from spreading centers Where you can find the youngest rocks on the ocean floor?mid ocean ridges the plastic layer in the upper mantle just below the lithosphere is called theasthenosphere New oceanic crust is producedat divergent plate boundaries Movement of the plates ranges from1 to 20 cm a year Magnetic stripes (zones with opposite magnetic properties) on the sea floor indicate a movement of tectonic plates away frommid-oceanic ridges
