Divergent boundaries in the middle of the ocean contribute to seafloor spreading.

Explanation:

  • As plates made of oceanic crust pull apart, a cracker in the ocean floor appears. Magma then oozes up from the mantle to fill in the space between the plates, forming a raised ridge called a mid-ocean ridge.
  • Divergent plate boundaries are locations where plates are moving away from one another. This occurs above rising convection currents.
  • The raising current pushes up on the bottom of the lithosphere, lifting it and flowing laterally beneath it.
