At a spreading ocean ridge, you are likely to find a divergent boundary fault, known as a mid-ocean ridge fault. This type of fault is created as two tectonic plates move apart, causing magma to rise from the mantle and create new oceanic crust at the ridge.
The mid-ocean ridge is formed along a divergent or constructive plate boundary between two plates of oceanic crust. A classic example is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where the Eurasian and African Plates are moving away from the North and South American Plates.
The mid-ocean ridge is a divergent plate boundary where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. As the plates separate, magma rises to the surface, creating new oceanic crust.
A divergent boundary created the mid-ocean ridge. At this boundary, tectonic plates are moving away from each other, allowing magma to rise and create new oceanic crust along the ridge.
Constructive or divergent. The ridge formed is of basaltic rock type (though this is a generalisation), and is a source of volcanic activity. Iceland was formed as a result of the sea-floor spreading.
Convergent
As the volcanic material moves away from the Mid Ocean Ridge, it cools (which makes it denser); it forms the large 'Giants Causeway" type of polygon rock forms; once it has passed through the Curie point, it preserves a record of the magnetic field as is was when the rock cools.

go to google and type mid ocean ridge, and there will be pictures of oceans with ridges!

A divergent plate boundary creates a mid-ocean ridge. This occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other, leading to the upwelling of magma from the mantle, creating new oceanic crust at the mid-ocean ridge.

The main boundary associated with mid-ocean ridges are divergent boundaries, because the plates move away from eachother, or "diverge".
