Crinoids are echinoderms which are closely related to starfish, Sea Urchins and brittle stars. Some of the Crinoids which are found till today have evolved some 420 million years ago. By studying Crinoids, a relation can be established in terms of evolutionary changes that have occurred or have been adopted by the species itself during a certain course of time. Also a relations could also be established to work out the changing climatic conditions since 420 million years ago.

I believe you mean mid-ocean ridge?

If so, true.

A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics.

This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.

A mid-ocean ridge demarcates the boundary between two tectonic plates, and consequently is termed a divergent plate boundary.
