A. What is the depth where we are going to find the ocean crust that is 50 million years old. Consider that the depth of the mid-ocean ridge is 1000 m. B. The spreading of the middle ocean ridge is 5 cm/yr. B.In what distance from the middle ocean ridge, you are going to find the position of the depth that you calculate in question A. C Considering now that the velocity of the spreading center is double the previous from question B, in what distance you will find the same depth as in question A and what do you believe will be the effect in the sea level considering that the water volume in our planet remains the same.

Given, Age of the Oceanic crust is 50 million years old. The depth of the mid-ocean ridge is 1000 m.…
