Answer;

Mid-ocean ridges

Step-by-step explanation;

  • Sea-floor spreading is the process by which molten material adds new oceanic crust to the ocean floor.
  • Mid-ocean ridge is an undersea mountain chain where new ocean floor is produced at a divergent plate boundary.
  • Mid ocean ridge occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.
