Mid Ocean ridges occur where oceanic plates are pulled apart by convection currents being generated in the mantle. The most famous mid ocean ridge on the planet is the mid-Atlantic ridge where the north and south American plates are pulling away from the African and Eurasian plates. The ridge extends from as far north as Iceland travelling south.
