The correct description of ocean rocks found near mid-ocean ridges is: **They are younger and form through the cooling of magma.**
Mid-ocean ridges are areas where tectonic plates pull apart, allowing magma from the mantle to rise and cool, forming new oceanic crust. As you move away from the ridge, the age of the oceanic crust increases.
