This is known as tensile stress.
Seafloor is created at divergent plate boundaries called the mid-ocean ridges.
Convergent on the western perimeter, divergent on the Easter perimeter.
divergent boundary
A plate boundary in the ocean where tectonic plates move apart is called a divergent boundary. At these boundaries, magma rises from the mantle to create new crust as the plates separate. An example of a divergent boundary is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
The mid-ocean ridge system is the longest continuous divergent plate boundary on Earth.
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
