What causes magma to form at a divergant plate?
At a divergent plate boundary the crust is thin. This reduces pressure on the upper mantle, lowering the melting point and allowing some rock to melt.
Where do plate boundary movements occur?
At plate boundaries.

Why does the Philippines experience frquient eartquakes?
The Philippine archipelago runs adjacent to a destructive tectonic plate boundary. The movements on at this boundary cause the build up of stresses in the Earth's crust in the region. These stresses are relived by movements of the crust which result in earthquakes.
