They are made up of uplands of mainly basaltic composition. They could contain zones of minerallization.

The youngest parts of the Earth's crust are found in the oceanic crust. This crust is continuously being created at the mid-oceanic ridges.
Yes. Mid Ocean Ridges create new oceanic crust.
Mid-oceanic ridges
Oceanic Plate.
New oceanic crust is created at the mid-oceanic ridges, a divergent plate boundary.
oceanic lithosphere sinks at subduction zones but not at mid ocean ridges because at subduction zones the oceanic lithosphere is subducted, or sinks, under another plate. Oceanic Lithosphere sinks at subduction zones which are usually at convergent boundaries, but at mid-ocean ridges the plates are actually separating not coming together
The lavas erupted from mid-oceanic ridges are called basalts. This lava contains quarts, feldspathoid, and plagioclase. Basalts has gray to black color.
Mid-Ocean Ridges forms where a continental plate slides under an oceanic plate. I hope this is what your looking for ! ! !:D
Along the mid oceanic ridges.
