Answer:

older

Step-by-step explanation:

thick & thin sediments are formed on old and younger crust. the sediments formed in the oceanic ridge are young, so their thickness is less than the thickness of sediments in the continental regions. also, the continental regions are near to lithogenous sediment, therefore they consists of thick sediment deposits formed since ages.
