Explain how new oceanic crust is formed at a divergent boundary?

Answer 1

At a mid-ocean ridge, as the plates are spreading apart, magma rises up in between and cools into new crust.

Answer 2

New Oceanic Crust

Answer 3

I believe mastermind is confused about divergent and convergent boundaries. At divergent boundaries, the separating plates allow molten material to be released from the mantle to the surface, where it cools and solidifies. This can either happen as a slow ooze, as is usually the case along the mid-Atlantic ridge, or as a violent eruption, which produces some volcanoes.
