Volcanoes at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge are created by the process of seafloor spreading, which occurs as tectonic plates move apart. As the plates separate, magma from the mantle rises to fill the gap, leading to volcanic activity. This process not only forms new oceanic crust but also creates underwater volcanoes, known as mid-ocean ridges, that can eventually emerge as islands. The continuous movement of tectonic plates ensures that this volcanic activity is an ongoing phenomenon.
