At a spreading boundary the lithosphere is pulling apart, therefore the magma rises through the spreading zone to form a volcano. But since it is constantly spreading, the volcano will eventually split and half will go one direction and the other half the opposite direction. Then a new volcano will replace that one, and the process will repeat.

It's because when the one plate dives under it pushes the one up to form a volcano and when it forms they pushes under father
