Answer:
Generally, beneath the ocean, two plates move apart resulting in gushing out of magma from the interior of the earth. This magma or lava, on cooling forms new crust (plates) and mid- ocenic ridges at the bottom of the ocean. The plate boundary is known as divergent or constructive plate boundary.
