what is the primary reason for the elevated position of the oceanic ridge system? view available hint(s)for part a what is the primary reason for the elevated position of the oceanic ridge system? the oceanic lithosphere at the ridge is hotter than the older lithosphere that is farther from the ridge. because the hotter lithosphere at the ridge is more dense than the cooler lithosphere farther away, lithosphere is more elevated at the ridge, sinking as it cools while moving away from the ridge. the oceanic lithosphere at the ridge is hotter than the older lithosphere that is farther from the ridge. because the hotter lithosphere at the ridge is less dense than the cooler lithosphere farther away, lithosphere is more elevated at the ridge, sinking as it cools while moving away from the ridge. the oceanic lithosphere at the ridge is cooler than the older lithosphere that is farther from the ridge. because the cooler lithosphere at the ridge is less dense than the hotter lithosphere farther away, lithosphere is more elevated at the ridge, sinking as it warms while moving away from the ridge. the oceanic lithosphere at the ridge is cooler than the younger lithosphere that is farther from the ridge. because the cooler lithosphere at the ridge is more dense than the hotter lithosphere farther away, lithosphere is more elevated at the ridge, sinking as it warms while moving away from the ridge. the oceanic lithosphere at the ridge is hotter than the newer lithosphere that is farther from the ridge. because the hotter lithosphere at the ridge is less dense than the cooler lithosphere farther away, lithosphere is more elevated at the ridge, sinking as it cools while moving away from the ridge.
