Ответ:
No, the ocean floor is much younger because new crust forms there.
Explanation:
The Earth's ocean floor and the continents are not the same age geologically. The ocean floor is much younger because new crust forms there. New crust is usually formed at the oceanic spreading centers. This process takes place when the oceanic plates pull apart, and molten lava wells up from the mantle to fill the openings. This effectively functions as a recycling system for the oceanic lithosphere.
