Crustal Accretion

Crustal Accretion is a geophysical process in which new oceanic crust is formed through the localized intrusion and extrusion of magma at mid-ocean ridges, distinguishing it from other crustal formation mechanisms by its continuous, seafloor-spreading-driven addition of igneous material to the lithosphere.
