Sea floor spreading begins at mid-ocean ridges, which are underwater mountain ranges formed by tectonic activity. As tectonic plates pull apart at these ridges, magma rises from the mantle to create new oceanic crust. This process not only contributes to the expansion of ocean basins but also leads to the formation of new seafloor.
