About Greater Maldives Ridge (Indian Ocean):

Greater Maldives Ridge (GMR) is located in the western Indian Ocean, southwest of India. The ridge is a segment of the larger Chagos-Laccadive Ridge (CLR) system.
The ridge is aseismic which means that it is not associated with earthquake activities.
A recent study undertaken by the Indian Institute of Geomagnetism, Mumbai has shown that the Maldives Ridge might have formed in the close vicinity of the Mid-Oceanic Ridge where new ocean floor is created due to divergent motion of spreading centre or lithospheric plates.
