It is the Mid Atlantic Ridge, several features it has is that it is a divergent boundary, spreading from the rift. It is evidence of seafloor spreading, and mountain like range it has which is what happens at ocean ridges all support plate tectonics

That is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge-an underwater mountain range. the picture you have, is where the seafloor spreads. That is a diverging fault. In any plate techtonic model will have this fault and show the ridges.

Mid-Atlantic Ridge is one of the largest sea floor deposits and has been intensively studied over the past few years
