Mid-ocean ridges normally form when tectonic plates move apart.
Answer (2)
Mid ocean ridges form when tectonic plates spread apart.
===============
Mid ocean ridges form when tectonic plates pull apart from each other along rift zones, such as the Mid-Atlantic ridge. This occurs due to upwelling currents in the mantle. Molten rock, basaltic lava, **rises **from below to fill the space between the receding plates, forming long undersea mountain ranges .
Mid-ocean ridges form when tectonic plates move apart at divergent boundaries, allowing magma to rise and create new oceanic crust through a process called seafloor spreading. This activity generates undersea mountain ranges and is responsible for many geological phenomena, including earthquakes. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a prominent example of a mid-ocean ridge that significantly impacts the ocean floor and Earth's geology.
