Answer:

the rocks are away from cracks in the crust

Step-by-step explanation:

The new crust is pushed away from the Ocean Ridge in both directions as newer crust is formed. This is called sea floor spreading. The crust that makes up the sea floor starts to have time to accumulate a layer of sediments as it gets older and moves away from the Ocean Ridge.
