Near fault lines, it is there that rocks are created by the rubbing or colliding of the tectonic plates. Rocks could also be made by volcanoes via the cooling of magma and lava. The closer to the fault line you are the newer the rock and the farther away you get the older the rock becomes.

Where are the youngest seafloor rocks found?
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.

How did Harry Hess hypothesis explain seafloor spreading?
Harry Hess hypothesized that the sea floor was spreading. He explained it through the phenomena of the youngest rocks that are found only at the mid-ocean ridges. These rocks then, get progressively older when moving away from the ridge.
