What is the average age of the oceanic crust on the map?

The average age of the oceanic crust on the map is 65 million years old.

As we look at the map showing the ages of the Atlantic's oceanic crust, we can see that the average age of the crust is 65 million years old. This tells us that the crust in this area is relatively young compared to other parts of the Earth's crust.
