Answer:

Mid-ocean ridges are found in the sea floor at divergent boundaries because both plates are moving away from each other creating the opening for the lava to sleep up. Mid-ocean ridges are where sea floor spreading occur by lava seeping up to the surface of the opening and cooling therefore forming new ground and pushing older layers of ground further away.
