There are three processes that add material to the ocean floor:
Sedimentation, and Vulcanism.
Sedimentation is usually caused by skeletons of sea animals falling to the ocean floor. It can be argued that this is not new material but only recycled materials. But some of the remains are calcium or other deposits that are added from land based run off. Silt deposits also run into the ocean floor from the land,
Vulcanism results from shifts in the ocean mantle with new material coming from deeper in the earth and spouting through volcanoes or emerging as new ocean floor at the rising edges of the tectonic plates.
A new ocean floor is constantly being produced through the process known as seafloor spreading. An underwater mountain chain formed where new crust is created by seafloor spreading is called a mid-ocean ridge.
Seafloor spreading occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity and then gradually moves away. Jennifer Castro

Down the middle! The mid Atlantic ridge is a divergent plate margin along which new crust is constantly being produced.
Exothermic is the process of heat being released. Wheat flour, in order to be produced, needs to have the reaction of heat treatment. The wheat flour is exothermic due to the treatment of heat.

It varies from a maximum age of 200 million years to the newly created sea floor at the mid-ocean ridges.
