Mid-Ocean Ridges: Magnetics and Polarity, featuring seafloor spreading. How Fast is the Mid-Ocean Ridge Spreading? (Illustration by Natalie Renier, © Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) TOPICS: How the Ocean Works / Seafloor & Below / Mid-ocean Ridges.
This animation shows the three-dimensional structure of a "mid-ocean ridge", where two of the Earth's tectonic plates are spreading apart. The Earth's mantle wells up between the separating plates and melts, which feeds magma to active volcanoes along the spreading ridge.
