The underwater geological process caused by tectonic plates is **seafloor spreading**. This process occurs at mid-ocean ridges where tectonic plates are moving apart, allowing magma to rise from below the Earth's crust and create new oceanic crust. Hydrothermal vents also occur in regions related to tectonic activity, but seafloor spreading specifically describes the process of new crust formation associated with tectonic plate movement.
