ocean floor moves away from the crests on both sides of the boundary. Further explain that when two tectonic plates are moving away from each other under the oceans it creates what is called a submarine rift valley, and the volcanic activity that is common in these areas sometimes create underwater volcanic cones. Be sure to note that divergent plate tectonics happen all along the mid-ocean ridge, and scientists have discovered many submarine rift valleys along the crests of large ridges found…
