At the mid-ocean ridges.
It is true that mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges. These ridges are where the lithosphere is moving apart and new oceanic crust is being formed.
The majority of new rock from the selection of answers originally posted (see discussion) is formed at mid-ocean ridges.
New oceanic crust is continually being created at the Mid-Ocean ridges.
Deep ocean ridges, ocean trenches, mountain ranges, volcanoes, faultlines
Divergent boundaries form ocean ridges.

New ocean crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges where tectonic plates are diverging (spreading apart).
At the mid-ocean ridges.
No, the theory is that Seafloor spreading state that the new ocean crust is formed at ocean ridges and is destroyed at deep sea trenches.
Ocean crust is formed by intrusive magma at mid-ocean-ridges. The magma cools and solidifies into peridotite, basalt, or gabbro.

It was formed when there was linear gap formed below at the ocean floor... So when the hot magma came out from it, it began to cool and solidify forming mid atlantic ridges
