In the Atlantic ocean where is the youngest seafloor located?

1 answer

The youngest seafloor in the Atlantic Ocean is generally found along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a divergent tectonic plate boundary running through the length of the ocean. This ridge is a hotspot for seafloor spreading, where new crust is constantly being created as tectonic plates pull apart. As a result, the seafloor along this ridge is continuously being formed, making it the youngest in the Atlantic Ocean.
