Nothing much. The ocean floor spreading is in the Atlantic Ocean caused by the mid oceanic ridge which is the largest and longest mountain range in the world. It is huge and if you Google ocean floor maps you will see a thing that goes all over the oceans floors. The volcanos erupt as the plates shift away from each other.
