Because of plate tectonics. Because it's 2 plates underwater that are moving apart. Magma rise up to where the 2 plates are separating to fill in the gap. Seafloor spreading occurs underwater.
How do landforms and land masses affect precipitation?
Rain clouds are often forced to rise as winds blow them towards landforms like mountains. Clouds rising are unable to hold their water, so it falls as precipitation on the windward side of mountains.
Why is the windward side of a mountain wetter and greener then the leeward side?
Winds blow clouds towards the windward side of mountains. The clouds are forced to rise and have to release their water as rain or snow. This makes the windward side of mountains wetter and greener.
What type of plate boundary causes mountains to rise?

How do mountains affect the water cycle?
When winds blow rain-bearing clouds towards mountains the clouds are forced to rise. As atmospheric pressure becomes lower the clouds are forced to drop their rain. This is why rain generally falls on the windward side of a mountain range. This precipitation is an essential part of the water cycle.

Will the sea drain away in an underwater volcanic eruption?
No, because as the magma rises from underwater volcanoes it heats the water causing it to rise. The magma then solidifies. Therefore when the volcano is active it is always heating the water around it. When the magma stops flowing then the volcano will solidify.
