The lithosphere of the Atlantic Ocean forms at mid-ocean ridges, particularly the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where tectonic plates are diverging. As the plates pull apart, magma rises from the mantle to fill the gap, solidifying to create new oceanic crust. This process continuously adds to the lithosphere, contributing to the ocean floor's formation and expansion.
