As sea floor moves away from a mid-ocean ridge, it sinks because:
a. gravity is stronger away from the ridge.
b. lithosphere starts down the subduction zone as soon as it moves away from a ridge.
c. lithosphere conductive cooling results in contraction and increased density and thus sinking.
d. heating thins the lithosphere, causing it to sink.
