    A ridge forms along a crack in the oceanic crust. At a mid-ocean ridge, molten material rises from the mantle and erupts. The molten material then spreads out, pushing older rock to both sides of the ridge ... This process, called sea-floor spreading, continually adds new material to the ocean floor.
