Ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges that run along the ocean floor. They are formed by tectonic activity where two plates are moving away from each other, causing magma to rise up and create new crust. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a famous example of an ocean ridge that runs down the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, roughly halfway between North America and Europe.
