Answer:

They are youngest close to the ridges,

Explanation:

At the ocean ridges, there is divergence at their margins.

Therefore, new materials upwell from the mantle below to the surface.

  • The basaltic materials cools and solidifies at the margin.
  • This action forces the old lithosphere backwards as the plate pulls away.
  • At the margin of the ridge, the rocks are younger.
  • Away from the margin, the crust begins to grow older.

So, at the margin the age of the rocks are more younger than those away from the margin.
