The answer is Mid-Ocean Ridge.

The high spots in the newly formed seafloor are called Mid-Ocean Ridge. It refers to the series of high spots and depression which are formed on each side of the growing seafloor area. In short, it is an underwater mountain system formed by plate tectonics. It typically have valleys known as rift.
