5. What happens when plates diverge? As plates diverge the boundaries of the plates begin to sink into the mantle.

O Hot spots form under land masses producing volcanos and lava flows creating island chains.

O Plates separate and magma from the mantle fills the space and solidifies.

As plates diverge they move laterally past each other creating seismic disturbances.

The plates diverge and this causes the construction of new rock. It happens when two tectonic plates pull apart and rock from the mantle rises up through the opening to form new surface rock when it cools. It happens at the start of a new ocean and continues at the mid-ocean ridge while the ocean is opening.
