Answer:

The name given to the underwater mountains in the middle of oceans is;

Mid-ocean ridges

Explanation:

Mid-ocean ridges, also known as mid-oceanic ridge is a mountain range made by plate tectonics under the water.

The magma created at a divergent boundary where two tectonic plates meet due to the rise of convection currents in the Earth's mantle which is beneath the oceanic crust results in the uplifting of the ocean floor.
