Seafloor Spreading
Yes, when magma rises from an ocean ridge, it can produce new material through a process called seafloor spreading. As the magma reaches the surface, it cools and solidifies, forming new oceanic crust. This process contributes to the continuous expansion of the seafloor and the formation of new crustal material.

When seafloor spreading occurs, it pushes the underground magma up though the new crust, creating a sort of volcano out of the new crust. Magma is a very important part in seafloor spreading. :]

Its mostly a basaltic formation, caused as a result of ferromagnetic magmatic emergence at zones of seafloor spreading during oceanic-oceanic divergence.
