It is about 200 million years
Oceanic crust is generally much younger. New ocean crust is constantly being formed.
The oceanic crust is the outermost layer of the lithosphere of the Earth. Scientists have estimated that its average age is around 200 million years.

Convection in the mantle helps to recycle the oceaniccrust, not all of Earth's crust. There are two different parts to the crust. Oceanic and Continental. The Oceanic gets recycled, so when Scientists measure the age of the rocks, they're young.

No, the oceanic crust is denser. That's why the land areas "float" so much higher than the ocean bedrock.

Oceanic crust is mafic.
Oceanic crust is significantly denser.
The youngest parts of the Earth's crust are found in the oceanic crust. This crust is continuously being created at the mid-oceanic ridges.
