Depends on the type of plate boundary, at a mid-ocean ridge the plates move away from eachother. Ridges can also occur as a result of plate collision where the top layer of lithosphere is scraped off the subducted slab, this is called an accretionary prism.
mid-ocean ridges and volcanoes
Convergent: plates move into one another.Divergent: plates move apart.Transform: plates move sideways in relation to each other.
Oceanic ridges are caused by the divergent movement of tectonic plates. As the plates move apart, magma rises from the Earth's mantle to fill the gap, creating new oceanic crust. This process is known as seafloor spreading.
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.
Ocean ridges form as a result of tectonic plate movement and divergent boundaries where two plates move apart. Magma rises to the surface between the plates, creating new oceanic crust that forms a ridge. This process, known as sea-floor spreading, leads to the continuous growth of the ocean ridges.
when the earths plates move we either have earthquakes, tsunamis, and we get ridges and trenches.
At transform boundaries, the plates move horizontal in relation to each other.

The earth's plates move slowly because how big the earthquake is he bigger the amount the plates will move and the slower the earthquake is the less it moves.

Mid Ocean ridges separate the plates and create new seafloor. Places where plates converge and disappear into the abyss are called trenches. The Marianas Trench is the deepest trench in the world.
