What is the mid-ocean ridge?
The mid-ocean ridge is the Earth's longest continuous mountain range, approximately 55-65 thousand kilometers long and bilaterally divided by a valley called a rift. The mid-ocean ridge is a volcanic feature caused by the spreading apart of oceanic plates as part of plate tectonics. The sea floor at the ridges are uplifted by rising magma. The rising magma is part of a process of heat transfer from the interior of the Earth to the surface known as a convection current. As the rising magma cools, it forms new crust which becomes part of the ridge. Therefore, the ridge is composed of basalt and gabbro, and is among the most recent of geologic age crustal rock. :)
