The lava that erupts from a volcano may flow down the sides of the volcano's cone and spread out at the foot, so widening the extent of the lava's boundary.

What causes volcanoes to form at a spreading plate boundary?

As two plates spread apart from each other at the boundary, magma that was trapped below wells up between them. This magma can be released in the form of volcanoes or ooze out from rift valleys.
