    Divergent plate boundaries form new crust as tectonic plates move away from each other, creating underwater mountain ranges like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Magma rises from the mantle to fill the space between separating plates, cooling and forming new ocean floor. Over time, the constant emergence of new crust along divergent boundaries shapes the geology and topography at sites like Iceland.
