they are formed from the uplift of newly formed oceanic crust by rising magma.
The mid-ocean ridge is a volcanic feature caused by the spreading apart of oceanic plates as part of plate tectonics, and is initially formed as a result of changes in the convection currents which seek the least resistant point to the surface. The sea floor at the ridges are uplifted by rising magma. The rising magma is part of a process of heat transfer from the interior of the Earth to the surface known as a convection current. As the rising magma cools, it forms new crust which becomes part of the ridge.
A mid-ocean ridge is formed as a result of magma rising between tectonic plates as they diverge. This forms sea-floor mountains, some of which break the surface (most notably Iceland as an example).

Midocean ridges are areas where continents broke apart. Midocean ridges are closest to the landmasses in younger oceans. One example where a midocean ridge intersected a landmass is the Arabian sea, which was formed by the pulling apart of the Arabian Peninsula and Africa.

One of the midocean ridges is, but others are in other oceans, seas, and bays.

MidOcean Partners was created in 2003.
The midocean ridges are the spreading centers where the plates are moving apart. The seamounts are extinct volcanos produced as the plate passed over a mantle hotspot.
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is found on the ocean floor in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
According to scientists, the process associated with seafloor spreading is responsible for the formation of the mid Atlantic ridges rift valley.
