New material forms on the ocean floor of the mid-ocean ridge due to plate tectonics and volcanic activity. Volcanic eruptions deposit cooled magma on the ocean floor.
What else can I help you with?
The movement of the ocean floor on either side of a midocean ridge is best known as?
it is known as sea floor spreading. this is when the oceanic plates diverge or move apart which causes the magma from the mantle to rise forming new sea floor.

Most of the loose material that settles on the ocean floor probably comes from?
what is the loose material that settles on the bottom of the ocean called
What is the process that adds new material to the ocean floor?
Sedimentation.
What causes new material to form on the mid ocean ridges on the ocean floor?
The uplifted sea floor results from convection currents which rise in the mantle as magma at a linear weakness in the oceanic crust, and emerge as lava, creating new crust upon cooling.
