At plate boundaries in the ocean where magma rises and melts, mid-ocean ridges develop. These underwater mountain ranges form as tectonic plates pull apart, allowing magma from the mantle to ascend and solidify. This process creates new oceanic crust and can lead to volcanic activity along the ridge. Additionally, this setting can result in the formation of hydrothermal vents, which are unique ecosystems dependent on the heat from the magma.
