A mid-ocean ridge is formed when two tectonic plates move away from each other and the opening left by them separating fills in with magma.
What else can I help you with?
Where do mid ocean ridges?
Mid-Ocean Ridges forms where a continental plate slides under an oceanic plate. I hope this is what your looking for ! ! !:D
What naturally forms at divergent boundaries?
Mid-ocean ridges
Where does new seafloor form?
It forms by the mid-ocean ridges under water or in the sea or ocean. () () (- -) ( ) UU
Which forms at mid-ocean ridges?
New oceanic crust is created along mid ocean ridges. These are areas of the earth where there is divergence or splitting of the ocean floor and basaltic magma oozes out from within the mantle to occupy the gaps and form new crusts.
Marine magnetic anomaly belts run parallel to?
Mid-Ocean Ridges
When were Mid-Ocean ridges first discoerverd?
The Mid-Ocean ridges were first discovered in the 1950's
Is the mid ocean ridges a steep sided valley at the center of a mid ocean ridge?
yes, the mid ocean ridges are a steep sided valley at the center of a mid ocean ridge
What plutonic igneous rock forms beneath mid-ocean ridges?
The plutonic igneous rock that forms beneath mid-ocean ridges is primarily gabbro. Gabbro is a coarse-grained rock that crystallizes from magma that cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, typically associated with the upwelling of magma at mid-ocean ridges. This process contributes to the formation of new oceanic crust as tectonic plates diverge.
Some of the newest crust in the world forms along the mid-ocean ridges True or False?
true
What is called when new crust forms where magma rises at mid ocean ridges?
sea floor spreading

Do mid ocean ridges destroy or create something?
