A mid-ocean ridge is created when plates separate. This landform is characterized by underwater mountain ranges where new oceanic crust is formed from volcanic activity along divergent plate boundaries.
Places where tectonic plates separate are known as divergent boundaries. At these boundary locations, magma rises from the mantle, forming new crust as the plates move apart.
