Cooler molten rock does what sink or rise?
Cooler molten rock sinks because it is denser than the hotter, less dense molten rock around it. As it cools, it becomes more rigid and eventually solidifies, creating new layers of rock over time.
What is the changing of solid rock to molten rock?
The changing of solid rock to molten rock is known as melting. This occurs when rocks are exposed to high temperatures, causing the minerals within the rock to break down and transform into liquid form. Once melted, the rock can then cool and solidify into new rock formations.
What is part of molten rock at mid-ocean ridges?
Molten rock at mid-ocean ridges consists of basaltic magma, which is rich in silica, iron, and magnesium. It also contains gases such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. As the magma rises to the surface, it solidifies to form new oceanic crust.

What happens to the rocks along the ridge when new molten material erupts?
The molten material then spreads out, pushing the older rock to both sides of the ridge. As the molten material cools, it forms a strip of solid rock in the center of the ridge. Then more molten material flows into the crack. The material splits apart the strip of solid rock that formed before, pushing it aside.
