Yes! Constructive volcanoes are when two plates move apart and magma rises through the line of weakness in the earth (the gap where two plates move). Magma rises and splashes onto the surface of the earth. They solidify and create basalt ( a type of rock) as well as new land hence the name Constructive Volcanoes. An example is when the Eurasian plate and North American move away from each other creating the Mid Atlantic Ridge which is a chain of small islands created by the constructive volcanoes such as Iceland and Azores.
