Tectonic plates do pull apart in the middle of the ocean. These divergent plates form what is known as the Mid-Atlantic ridge.

The process called plate tectonics is responsible for plates pulling apart. Over time, and with the combination of carbon dioxide, erosion, and force, plates are able to pull apart. This will eventually cause some plates to separate from one another.
Divergent plate boundaries form once two plates begin to pull apart from each other.
A shield volcano forms where plates pull apart. This type of volcano has gentle sloping sides and is characterized by its low viscosity lava flows. Examples of shield volcanoes include those in Hawaii.
