Magma seeps up through the two plates from the mantle and form volcanos.
Magma is extruded as lava at the mid-ocean ridges when they are pulled apart.
At divergent plate boundaries, plates move away from each other due to the upwelling of magma from the mantle. This process creates new oceanic crust as the plates separate. As the plates move apart, they create features such as mid-ocean ridges and rift valleys.
When magma rises between separate plates, it can create new land masses or volcanic islands. This process is known as seafloor spreading, where the magma hardens to form new crust as the plates move apart. It can also result in volcanic activity and the formation of underwater mountain ranges.
valconoes!
magma is very hot so as it boils it moves the plates of the earth causing the continents to slowly move apart
Plates are moved at a divergent boundary by the magma pushing upwards.

Magma moving underneath the earth causes tectonic plates to move about.
the hot magma moves around and they move.
they move because its due to the magma and they move to form things etc.....
The tectonic plates move because of the great amount of liquid rock, or magma that they 'float' on and get pushed by.
The Earth's tectonic plates do not move on top of the crust, they are the crust. The crust is made out of plates. The plates float on top of the mantle, which is made of molten rock, called magma. The plates move because of currents in the magma.
the tectonic plates move and the lava rises
tectonic plates move apart allowing magma to move to the surface.
Friction causes plates to stop moving temporarily. The motion of the magma under the plates will cause the plates to move again.
