How was the age of rocks in ocean basins determined?

The age of rocks in ocean basins was determined through radiometric dating of volcanic rocks, which provides the absolute age of the rocks. Analyzing the magnetic properties of the rocks and the orientation of magnetic minerals helped in dating the rocks based on changes in Earth's magnetic field over time. Additionally, studying the distribution of fossils in the rocks provided relative dating information based on the known ages of the fossils.
