I have no idea to be honest. I had a bunch of questions in this  assignment, but I couldn't figure out what to do on this one.

ok, its asking you to counculate the time and distance of the spreading to find the rate of the sea floor spreading

It doesn't give a map or anything though. So I'm not sure what I'm suppose to calculate.
