The youngest rock is found near mid-ocean ridges since a new rock is formed near the mid-oceanic ridge as oceanic plates diverge or separate from each other. Hot rocks rising from the asthenosphere melt from decompression as they rise, filling the fault and forming new basaltic oceanic crust. As new crust is added, older crust is pushed away. Hope this answer helps.
