Bedrock Ages Show Oceans Far Younger Than Continents includes a world map of bedrock age. It shows that the continents are older than the oceans and that the youngest bedrock in the oceans is at the mid-ocean ridges. The text describes how differences in bedrock density allow continents to “float” and avoid the recycling process.
