A divergent plate boundary
No, most of the volcanoes along the mid-ocean ridge do not rise above the ocean's surface. These submarine volcanoes are typically under the water and form part of the continuous volcanic activity that occurs along the ocean ridges. Only a few volcanoes along the mid-ocean ridge, such as Iceland, rise above the ocean's surface.
Volcanoes that form along a mid-ocean ridge are called volcanic islands. These volcanoes occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps which molten lava rises to fill.

The Mid-Ocean Ridge Is From The Mantle.
MOR stands for mid-ocean ridge, which is a underwater mountain range where volcanic activity occurs. The volcanoes that form along mid-ocean ridges are typically characterized by basaltic lava flows and are an important part of the process of seafloor spreading.
Yes, the sea floor near the mid-ocean ridge is young. As magma rises along the ridge, it solidifies to form new crust, creating a continuous process of crust formation and pushing older crust away from the ridge. This results in the oldest sea floor being farthest from the mid-ocean ridges.
Along a mid-ocean ridge
The Mid-Atlantic ridge.
The mid-ocean ridge is the mountain ridge that runs along the bottom of the ocean and is formed by plate tectonics.
Mid-Ocean Ridge
The mantle's convection currents move in the mantle in the form of magma which creates the mid-ocean ridge. Mid-ocean ridges are found in every ocean in the world and when the currents erupt as lava the eventually cool and create a crust.
