Causes and consequences of the relation between area and age of the ocean floor.
The distribution of area of the ocean floor with age, t, is approximately described by dA/dt=C0(1-(t/tm)), where C0 is the rate of crustal generation and tm the maximum age. A linear differential area versus age relation can be explained by a balance between generation and consumption where consumpt...
