The ocean rocks found near mid-ocean ridges are typically volcanic in nature. They are formed through the process of seafloor spreading, where molten magma rises to the surface and cools to form new oceanic crust. These rocks are often basaltic in composition, dark-colored, and have a fine-grained texture. They can also contain minerals such as olivine and pyroxene. Due to their formation at mid-ocean ridges, these rocks are also commonly associated with hydrothermal activity and the formation of mineral deposits.
