Answer:
There are two processes, ridge-push and slab-pull, thought to be responsible for the spreading seen at mid-ocean ridges, and there is some uncertainty as to which is dominant. Ridge-push occurs when the weight of the ridge pushes the rest of the tectonic plate away from the ridge, often towards a subduction zone.

Oceanic ridge, continuous submarine mountain chain extending approximately 80,000 km (50,000 miles) through all the world’s oceans. Individually, ocean ridges are the largest features in ocean basins. Collectively, the oceanic ridge system is the most prominent feature on Earth’s surface after the continents and the ocean basins themselves. In the past these features were referred to as mid-ocean ridges, but, as will be seen, the largest oceanic ridge, the Oceanic ridges are not to be confused with aseismic ridges, which have an entirely different origin.
