Mid-ocean ridge by Wikipedia Bot 0
A mid-ocean ridge is an underwater mountain range that is a key feature of the Earth's ocean floors. It is formed by the process of seafloor spreading, where tectonic plates move apart and magma from the mantle rises to create new oceanic crust. This process occurs at divergent plate boundaries, where two tectonic plates are moving away from each other.
