No. The rock cools down as it moves away and sinks deeper.
Mid-Ocean ridges.
mid-ocean ridges
Harry hess' hypothesis was hot/less dense material rises up the Earth's crust toward the mid-ocean ridges. When the seafloor breaks apart, magma is forced upward and through the cracks. It cools, and becomes a new seafloor. When it moves away from the mid-ocean ridge, it becomes denser and sinks. This helps form ridges.
The youngest seafloor rocks are found in the rift valleys of the mid ocean ridges. At the mid-oceanic ridges there is tectonic movement bringing new magma to the surface.
The ages of the rocks become older the farther the way they are from the ridges. The closer they are the younger it is. This leaves evidence to the seafloor spreading theory.

Age of seafloor rock and sediment increases with distance from the oceanic ridges.
