a divergent boundary
When two tectonic plates separate, it is called seafloor spreading. This process occurs at mid-ocean ridges where new oceanic crust is formed as magma rises from below the Earth's surface and solidifies.

When two tectonic plates separate, a divergent boundary is formed. At this boundary, magma rises from the mantle to create new crust, often resulting in the formation of mid-ocean ridges or rift valleys. This process can lead to volcanic activity and earthquakes as the plates move apart. An example of a divergent boundary is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

formed by movment of tectonic plates
When the tectonic plates cause earthquake, it creates a crater in earth. This opening can lead to a volcano.
Deep-ocean trenches are formed where seafloor tectonic plates subduct under continental plates.
