usually a rift or trench
A rift valley is a large depression where tectonic plates are moving apart, creating a gap in the Earth's crust. This forms at divergent boundaries, where plates move away from each other. A mid-ocean ridge is an underwater mountain range formed by the divergence of tectonic plates. They also form at divergent boundaries, specifically at oceanic spreading centers.
Volcanoes and you might find magma. (hot molten rock)
Rift Valleys are the most common at oceanic-continental convergent boundaries.
A mid-ocean ridge is an underwater mountain system formed by plate tectonics. By: Donovan Lopez?
Rift valleys are linear-shaped lowlands in between highlands or mountain ranges that were created by geologic rift or fault. Abyssal plains are underwater plains deep on the ocean floor between a mid-ocean ridge and the foot of a continental rise.
Yes, there is a valley in the center of the mid-ocean ridge called the rift valley. It is formed due to tectonic plates diverging and magma rising to create new oceanic crust. The rift valley is a significant feature of the mid-ocean ridge system.

A continental rift such as the East African Rift valley. Please see the related link.
You would need to find a continental rift. The best example of an active continental rift is the East African Rift.

A Rift Valley is a deep crack in the mid-Atlantic ridge. They can occur in oceanic crust or in continental crust.
A rift valley is a large depression where tectonic plates are moving apart, creating a gap in the Earth's crust. This forms at divergent boundaries, where plates move away from each other. A mid-ocean ridge is an underwater mountain range formed by the divergence of tectonic plates. They also form at divergent boundaries, specifically at oceanic spreading centers.

When two continental plates diverge, a rift valley is formed as the Earth's crust splits apart. Magma rises to the surface and creates new crust, eventually leading to the formation of a mid-ocean ridge.
