Mineral formation can occur several ways along the MOR. Rising magma can cool and crystallize, forming igneous rock which contains various minerals. Heated seawater also percolates through the hot rock of the MOR, and can precipitate minerals on rock surfaces and at black smokers.

Do most of the volcanoes of the mid-ocean ridge rise above the oceans surface?
No, most of the volcanoes along the mid-ocean ridge do not rise above the ocean's surface. These submarine volcanoes are typically under the water and form part of the continuous volcanic activity that occurs along the ocean ridges. Only a few volcanoes along the mid-ocean ridge, such as Iceland, rise above the ocean's surface.
What is the name of the mountain ridge that is on the bottom of the ocean?
The mid-ocean ridge is the mountain ridge that runs along the bottom of the ocean and is formed by plate tectonics.
What does a mid ocean ridge form along?
A divergent plate boundary

What Is A Good Sentence For Mid-Ocean Ridge?
The Mid-Ocean Ridge Is From The Mantle.
The top of the asthenosphere is closest to Earth's surface?

When the ridge in the middle of the Atlantic ocean formed along what boundary?
Divergent boundary
What information indicates that new seafloor rock is forming along a mid-ocean ridge and then moving horizontally away from the ridge?
Mostly Volcanoes are located under ocean water.
How is magnetic evidence preserved in the rocks that form along an ocean ridge?
Iron minerals that are present in magma or lava along the ridge that has not completely crystallized into rock are aligned with the Earth's polarity. When the magma or lava cools and solidifies completely, the magnetic orientation of the Earth at that time is preserved in the body of igneous rock.
