Oceanic crust is forced under continental crust and melted into lava because of the friction and heat. The lava is then pushed upwards through a volcano, causing a volcanic eruption. The plates sliding also causes violent earthquakes.
It creates a divergent boundary.
A divergent boundary is an area where two neighboring tectonic plates move away from one another. It can also be called a divergent plate boundary, constructive boundary or extensional boundary.
A divergent boundary is where tectonic plates move away from each other, creating new crust. A convergent boundary is where plates collide, leading to the formation of mountains or subduction zones.
divergent
Actually, a boundary is typically formed between plates when they move past each other horizontally. This type of boundary is called a transform plate boundary. When plates separate, they form a divergent boundary, where new crust is created as magma rises and solidifies at the mid-ocean ridge.
Plates are moved at a divergent boundary by the magma pushing upwards.

i dont know kiddo
A. Divergent
It creates a divergent boundary.
This tends to occur below a constructive / divergent plate boundary so the plates will move away from each other.
