You would interpret the data as the red areas would be the newest rocks and the blue would be the oldest.

In the middle of the ocean where it's red is the newest rock's and the blue on the outside of the map is the oldest kinds of rock. because when they spred appart they left rock in-between where they broke apart. from the vents

The red areas on both of the maps are the newest rock and the blue is the oldest rock, the rest of the colors go in order, the closer they are to red the newer they are and the closer they are to blue they are older.

You can integrate it so that the blue is the oldest and red is the youngest, and the borders of the tectonic plates are around the youngest rock.
