Constructive or divergent. The ridge formed is of basaltic rock type (though this is a generalisation), and is a source of volcanic activity. Iceland was formed as a result of the sea-floor spreading.
Seafloor is created at divergent plate boundaries called the mid-ocean ridges.
Mid-ocean ridges are the most common type of underwater mountain range formed by tectonic plates moving apart, allowing magma to rise and create new oceanic crust.
Divergent boundary occurs in the new ocean floor where tectonic plates move away from each other, allowing magma to rise up and form new crust. This process is known as seafloor spreading and leads to the creation of mid-ocean ridges.
Divergent plate boundary movement causes mid-ocean ridges and sea-floor spreading. This occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other, creating new oceanic crust at the boundary. Magma rises to the surface, solidifies, and forms undersea mountain ranges known as mid-ocean ridges.

Mid-ocean ridges are the most common type of underwater mountain range formed by tectonic plates moving apart, allowing magma to rise and create new oceanic crust.
The main boundary associated with mid-ocean ridges are divergent boundaries, because the plates move away from eachother, or "diverge".
The youngest seafloor is located at mid-ocean ridges, which are divergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates move apart. As new oceanic crust is formed through seafloor spreading, it pushes older crust away from the ridge, making the seafloor at mid-ocean ridges the youngest on Earth.
Mid-ocean ridges are typically found at divergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. These ridges are formed by the upwelling of magma from the mantle, creating new oceanic crust as the plates separate.
Divergent boundary occurs in the new ocean floor where tectonic plates move away from each other, allowing magma to rise up and form new crust. This process is known as seafloor spreading and leads to the creation of mid-ocean ridges.
it is a type of plate boundary that move away from euchre's a result of the spreading of boundaries, new ocean floor is created. this mainly happens on the ocean floor and results in mid-ocean ridges
