Brief Explanations
At mid - ocean ridges, new oceanic crust is formed as magma rises and solidifies. As we move away from the mid - ocean ridge, the crust that was formed earlier (and thus older) is further from the ridge, while the newer crust is closer to the ridge. So the oceanic crust does get older as we get farther from a mid - ocean ridge.
