The newest parts of Earth's crust are located at mid-ocean ridges. At these underwater mountain ranges, tectonic plates are spreading apart, and magma from the mantle rises to fill the gap, solidifying to form new crust as it cools. This process is known as sea-floor spreading. The mid-Atlantic Ridge is one well-known example of a mid-ocean ridge where new crust is continuously being formed.
