question 28 of 28 where are you most likely to find earths youngest crust? a. at the bottom of large rivers and lakes b. at the center of a mid - ocean ridge c. at the ocean - continent boundaries d. at the top of earths highest mountains
Mid - ocean ridges are sites of seafloor spreading where new crust is formed as magma rises and solidifies. This is where the youngest crust is found. In contrast, the bottom of large rivers and lakes, ocean - continent boundaries, and tops of high mountains do not have the processes that create new crust like mid - ocean ridges do.
