because the molten rock cools in the water and forms a oceanic crust
When any fault occurs or tectonic plates pull away from each other under the ground. An earthquake happens.
Ridges, called spreading centers, happen where two plates move away from each other. As the plates separate, molten mantle material (magma/melted rock) flows up to fill the void.
Yes, but no with each other. They can meet other plates.
SPREADING ZONES Spreading zone occurs in the border of two tectonic plates. This happens when the plates generally move away from each other creating an opening for the magma to force through the surface.
they hug each other

The plates slide across from each other. By that I mean away from each other and they can make earthquakes and mountains!
Well, when earths plates move away from each other that's when it happens but move well then NO!
the two plates are moving away from each other, and new crust is formed.

When it is two continental plates, new oceanic crust is formed, and when this continues, more oceanic crust is formed between the plates.
When two plates move away from each other it makes a falt line or a riffed. -bekahcboo
When plates slide past each other, move toward each other, and move away from each other.
Continental drift is what happens when the Earth's plates shift either towards or away from the other plates. Earthquakes occur when two of the plates bump into each other. It happens when the magma from within the Earth rises up and pushes the plates, due high pressure they pose. That's the best I can do.

It creates mountians
