No, the farther from a mid-ocean ridge a rock sample is taken, the older the rock generally is. Mid-ocean ridges are sites of seafloor spreading, where new oceanic crust is formed as magma rises and cools. As tectonic plates move away from the ridge, the rocks gradually age, making those farther from the ridge older than those closer to it.
Midocean ridges are areas where continents broke apart. Midocean ridges are closest to the landmasses in younger oceans. One example where a midocean ridge intersected a landmass is the Arabian sea, which was formed by the pulling apart of the Arabian Peninsula and Africa.
Sediment closer to mid-ocean ridges is typically younger, coarser, and consists of more volcanic material compared to sediment farther away. This is because the closer proximity to the ridge results in a higher input of freshly erupted material from the underlying volcanic activity.
One of the midocean ridges is, but others are in other oceans, seas, and bays.
Isochrons on the sea floor are located at the mid-ocean ridges. They represent the age of the oceanic crust and are created as new crust forms at the ridge axis and moves away from it over time. Older crust is farther from the ridge, while younger crust is closer to the ridge.
Scientists discovered that rocks farther away from the mid-ocean ridge were older than those near it through radiometric dating of the rocks. By measuring the age of the minerals within the rocks, they found that the farther rocks were older because they had been slowly moving away from the ridge as new crust formed at the ridge and pushed older crust farther out.

haha i really dont know
Older, as it moves away from the mid-ocean ridge the sediment gets thicker and older
no
hit the books!!
haha i really dont know
the ages of the rocks become increasingly older in samples obtained farther from the ridge and the younger had just come out the ridge.

Sediment closer to a mid-ocean ridge is typically younger, thinner, and composed of more volcanic material compared to sediment farther away. This is because the ridge is a site of active seafloor spreading where new oceanic crust is formed, leading to a higher rate of sedimentation near the ridge.

They measure how far away the rock is from the mid-ocean ridge. The farther, the older.
