PLS HELP!!! At divergent boundaries, what fills in the spaces as the plates pull apart? Type your response in paragraph form below:

Hayhayz:

Divergent boundaries in the middle of the ocean contribute to seafloor spreading. As plates made of oceanic crust pull apart, a crack 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. https://www.learner.org/interactives/dynamicearth/otherboundaries/
