An oceanic ridge rift occurs due to sea floor spreading which happens when magma rises from the mantle to the sea floor surface.
Explanation:
Magma usually rises from the mantle when there is a divergent plate boundary as the the plates move away from each other giving space for the magma to rise and form new sea floor surface.
