At the MOR, molten rock is carried upward towards the surface via convection, where new oceanic lithosphere is generated (usually as an fine-grained igneous rock known as basalt) and the plates are further pushed away from the spreading center.
New oceanic crust is constantly being made. Hot molten material is constantly rising up in places we call oceanic ridges. Iceland is a special case as the ridge divides the island in half. An oceanic ridge has material rising up from inside the Earth and pushing plates apart. As the plates get pushed apart new oceanic crust is formed.
