The Ocean

The depths of Earth's oceans hold far more secrets and wonders then we truly realize. From glow-in-the-dark fish, to life where there is no light, surprises abound. One of these marvels in the oceans are the sea floors themselves.

Answer and Explanation:

Ocean ridges generally are located on the ocean floor at the boundary between two tectonic plates moving apart from each other, known as a divergent plate boundary. As the two plates move apart in a process called seafloor spreading, magma from the upper part of the mantle pushes upward. As the magma rises it emerges as lava and cools, causing new oceanic crust to form as ridges.
