Along a ridge, two tectonic plates are moving apart due to divergent plate boundary forces. This movement creates a gap where magma rises up to fill the space, leading to the formation of new oceanic crust. This process is known as seafloor spreading.

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.
