when two plate moves apart from each other the intrusion of magma has been take place from mantle
When tectonic plates move apart, it creates a divergent boundary. As the plates separate, magma from beneath the Earth's surface can rise up, creating new crust. This process can lead to the formation of volcanic activity and mid-ocean ridges.

Divergent Boundaries happen when two plates (oceanic or contental) begin to diverge, or move apart. Convergent Boundaries occur when two plates (again, oceanic or contential) begin to converge or move apart
When two lithospheric plates move apart, a divergent boundary is formed. This process results in the creation of new oceanic crust as magma rises to fill the gap between the plates, forming a mid-ocean ridge.
divergent boundary
This process is called seafloor spreading. As the two plates move apart, magma rises from the mantle to create new crust at the mid-ocean ridge. This process helps explain the movement of Earth's tectonic plates and the reshaping of the ocean floor.
At the boundry of two tectonic plates, you get volcanoes, earthquake epicentres and ( if its under the ocean) tsunamis.
forms when two {crustal} lithosphere plates move apart.
