The statement that best describes how a ridge forms is:
"Two tectonic plates move away from each other, causing lava to spew out of the ground and harden."
This process occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where tectonic plates diverge, allowing magma from below the Earth's crust to rise and create new oceanic crust as it cools and solidifies.
