It is a divergent boundary
compression
The mid-ocean ridge is formed along a divergent or constructive plate boundary between two plates of oceanic crust. A classic example is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where the Eurasian and African Plates are moving away from the North and South American Plates.
Divergent - where two plates are moving away from one another. (Mid-ocean Ridge)Convergent - where two plates are moving towards one another. (Ocean Trench) found at both O/O converge and O/C converge.
Constructive or divergent. The ridge formed is of basaltic rock type (though this is a generalisation), and is a source of volcanic activity. Iceland was formed as a result of the sea-floor spreading.
Convergent
Diverging oceanic plates.
It is a divergent boundary
As the volcanic material moves away from the Mid Ocean Ridge, it cools (which makes it denser); it forms the large 'Giants Causeway" type of polygon rock forms; once it has passed through the Curie point, it preserves a record of the magnetic field as is was when the rock cools.

go to google and type mid ocean ridge, and there will be pictures of oceans with ridges!
A mid-ocean ridge forms at the divergent plate boundary. This boundary initially forms rifts that later on become rift valleys.
