Here is your answer:

Well, its a underwater mountain (system) its formed when plate tectonics move opposite ways from each other (or expand) and its also the cause of sea floor spreading for when its spreads out (or expands)

Just remember that its when plate tectonics expand and go the opposite ways from each other causing sea floor spreading.

Your answer is that they expand from each other.

Mid Oceanic Ridges are underwater landforms that form at divergent played boundaries. This is because of all the magma rising to form new crust.
