seafloor. This is why newer seafloor (igneous rock) is younger when it is closer to the ridge. 2. If the distance from a point on the coast of Africa to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is approximately 2‚400 km‚ calculate how long ago that point in Africa was at or near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. That point in Africa was at or near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge 192 million years ago. I got this answer because I know that the movement of the seafloor is about 1.25 cm per year. I converted 2‚400 km in to 240‚000‚000
