How is a mid-ocean ridge formed?
Mid-ocean ridges are formed from the uplift of newly formed oceanic crust by rising magma. As the ridge is slowly pushed away from the source of the heat by the addition of newer crust, it sinks and is no longer part of the ridge, being replaced by new ridge material. This process means that the rock comprising the ridges is among the most recent in geologic age. divergent boundaries
