How do volcanoes affect the ocean floor?

What ocean floor feature consists of chains of individual volcanoes?
The ocean floor feature that consist of chains of individual volcanoes is called mid ocean ridges. This ridge can rise from 1 to 3 kilometers above the ocean basin.
Why do scientist look to the ocean floor to research the mantle?
Why do scientists look to the ocean floor to research the mantle? Because magma from the mantle flows out of active volcanoes on the ocean floor. These underwater volcanoes have given scientists many clues about the composition of the mantle.
