Answer: False.

Explanation: The new oceanic lithosphere are formed at mid ocean ridges. They are formed due to the activity of the volcanoes.

The volcanoes erupt lava that flows from the ridges. Example: The Atlantic ocean along the mid ocean ridges has volcanic activity and formation of new oceanic lithosphere takes place.
