Answer:

Rocks get older as we go away from the Mid Atlantic Ridge  towards the continents

Explanation:

As the plates move away from each other, new ocean lithosphere is created at the ridge. This also widens the ocean basin and leads to sea floor spreading.

The rock of the ocean floor are symmetrically aligned and they get become older as they move away from the crest of the ridge.

Thus, rocks get older as we go away from the Mid Atlantic Ridge  towards the continents
