Rocks formed by the rapid hardening of molten material.
Scientists in a submersible saw rocks formed by the rapid hardening of molten material when they observed the mid ocean ridge. They only saw these after rocking the submersible in every direction.

i never know
The evidence that supports Wegner's hypothesis is that in 1947 , a group of scientisits noticed two things about the Mid- Atlantic Ridge. The first thing that the scientists noticed was the sediment that covers the sea floor is thinner and younger closer to a ridge than it is farther from a ridge. Second, scientists learned that the ocean floor is very young. Radiometric dating shows that the sea floor closer to the mid-ocean ridge are younger, than the ones farther.
Since it is called the 'mid ocean ridge' , it is in the middle of the ocean, far from land/countries. However, with one exception, Iceland. The mid Atlantic ocean ridge continues above the surface of the ocean, and has formed the island of Iceland.

It was lava (volcanic magma) from undersea volcanic vents.

they used the magnifier to launch the band to map the mid-ocean ridge

there is a mid-atlantic ridge
I don't believe that is possible to figure out

Scientists have observed the beginnings of a new ocean basin in the Afar desert in the northeast region of Ethiopia. New ocean basins are still being formed at the Mid-Ocean Ridge in the Atlantic Ocean. This process involves the formation of new basalt. The process of subduction counter-balances the aforementioned, destroying older parts of the ocean floor. This is formally known as sea-floor spreading.
They measure how far away the rock is from the mid-ocean ridge. The farther, the older.
