What is the location of black smokers in relation to plate tectonics?

At divergent plate boundaries crust moves apart by tensional forces. Black smokers occur because cold water mixes with hot volcanic magma thousands of miles below the crust. As the mixture rises, it removes minerals from surrounding rocks. When this mixture comes in contact with the cold ocean water the minerals precipitate and form the "black smoke" that we observe.
