Process that forms new seafloor?

The process that forms new seafloor is called seafloor spreading. It occurs at mid-ocean ridges where new oceanic crust is created through volcanic activity. As magma rises and solidifies, it adds to the seafloor, pushing older crust away from the ridge and creating a continuous process of crust formation.
