The deep crack is called a rift valley. It forms where tectonic plates are diverging or moving apart, allowing magma from below the Earth's surface to rise and create new oceanic crust.
The prominent feature of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a very deep linear valley known as a rift valley. This rift valley forms due to the tectonic plates moving apart and allowing magma to rise from the mantle, creating new oceanic crust in the process.

When two of Earth's oceanic plates collide, they can form a deep valley called a trench. Trenches are often found in subduction zones where one plate is forced beneath the other, creating a deep depression in the ocean floor.
The huge trough down the center of the mid-ocean ridge is where two tectonic plates are moving apart. As they separate, magma rises up from the mantle to fill the gap, creating new oceanic crust. This process is known as seafloor spreading.
The answer to that very question that you have just stated i will answer. It is a simple RIFT VALLEY :)

At collision, mountains, at separation, long deep holes into the earth.
The Celtic word for deep valley is "gleann domhain."
deep valley i think :)
