A once smooth road surface has cracks and fractures, plus a large pothole. While plate tectonics forces work to build huge mountains and other landscapes, the forces of weathering gradually wear those rocks and landscapes away. Together with erosion, tall mountains turn into hills and even plains.

Weathering The rate of weathering happens on mountains in the same way it does everywhere else. However, rocks at higher elevations, are exposed to more wind, rain, and ice than the rocks at lower elevations are. This increase in wind, rain, and ice at higher elevations causes the peaks of mountains to weather faster.

Mid-ocean ridges (MORs), which are the sites of new oceanic crust formation, are linear mountain chains that run along divergent
Lemur [1.5K]

The correct answer is - As the hot magma exists the MOR, it shoots up higher than the surrounding crust.

The mid-ocean ridges are linear mountain chains on the ocean floor. They appear on places where there are divergent boundaries, meaning where two or more plates are moving away from one another.

As the plates move away, they leave thinner crust and gaps behind them, so the high pressure from the mantle manages to push upward the magma with ease. As the magma pushes upward it manages to move up the ocean floor as well. The magma cools of very quickly, thus creating new crust in no time. This new crust sits higher than the older one because the magma manages to push upward the ocean floor itself. Since the magma is continuously coming up and creates more and more new crust, it also gets out much higher because it makes a mountain of very hard igneous rocks around the source, thus constantly coming above the layers formed before.
