Answer;

-The rocks are the same age

Step-by-step explanation;

Seafloor spreading is the process by which the seafloor moves apart at mid-ocean ridges. Divergent seafloor spreading occurs at this type of plate boundary.

Seafloor spreading and other tectonic activity processes are the result of mantle convection. Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries. As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle’s convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense.
