As the plates move away from each other at divergent boundaries, the lithosphere becomes thinner. A set of deep cracks form in the rift zone. The convection currents of the mantle can form a weak spot, and the heated, less dense magma rises up to fill the gap.
Seafloor Spreading
Magma rises from magma chambers at the rifts in the sea floor. Cooling and hardening then occurs.

Can volcanoes form along divergent plate boundaries on land?
yes
Volcanoes usually occur along what plate boundaries?
transform and divergent
What type of plate boundary causes volcanic eruptions?
There are two plate boundaries that cause volcanoes. They are the divergent and convergent plate boundaries.
What is a fault of a volcano?
A volcano is not a type of fault. Volcanoes can be found at convergent and divergent plate boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
What tectonic plate is primarily comprised of seafloor crust?
Divergent plate boundaries are often found on the ocean floorâ??s crust. These are the type of tectonic plates that produce volcanoes and rifts.
What type of fault is a volcano?
A volcano is not a type of fault. Volcanoes can be found at convergent and divergent plate boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
What boundaries are the 3 types of volcanoes located on?
Divergent and convergent plate boundaries. You can look up more info on google.
