What is Mid-Ocean Ridges and Lithosphere Formation about?

Mid-ocean ridges are critical geological features formed by mantle convection, where upwelling mantle creates new oceanic crust through partial melting. As tectonic plates move away from the ridges, they cool and thicken, leading to increased ocean depth toward continental margins. The processes at mid-ocean ridges significantly influence global crust formation, geochemical differentiation, and hydrothermal systems.
