New ocean crust, shown in this map in red, forms along the divergent plate boundaries of the ridge system The Mid-Ocean Ridge is crucial for understanding the mechanics of plate tectonics and seafloor spreading

The mid-ocean ridge is the world's longest continuous mountain range, stretching over 65,000 kilometers (40,000 miles) across the globe. The alternating patterns of magnetic anomalies found on either side of the ridge provide evidence of periodic magnetic field reversals and help date the age of the.
