divergent plate  boundary

The type of plate boundary is divergent/constructive plate boundary.

Divergent plate boundary, also known as constructive plate boundary is where the plates move apart under the rising convection current of magma.

As plates move apart, cracks are formed and the upwelling magma from mantle would fill the cracks. Once the lava cools down, new plate material is created to create new seafloor. This is also called seafloor spreading.

Therefore, the answer is divergent/constructive plate boundary.

Hope it helps!

How does it explain the differences between seafloor and continental crust?

Answer:

The movements involved in plate tectonics acted like a giant conveyor belt for earths lithosphere and the Mid ocean ridges occur where mantle material rises upward, creating new seafloor crust and pushing plates apart.

Explanation:

How does this action explain the differences between seafloor crust and continental crust?

The movements involved in plate tectonics acted like a giant conveyor belt for earths lithosphere and the Mid ocean ridges occur where mantle material rises upward, creating new seafloor crust and pushing plates apart.

Main differences between sea floor crust and continental crusti is that oceanic crust and continental crust are less dense than the mantle, but sea floor crust is denser than continental crust. It also noticed that subduction occurs at ocean trenches, where dense seafloor crust pushes under less dense continental crust, thereby returning seafloor crust to the mantle. The subducting seafloor crust may partially melt, with lower density material melting first and erupting from volcanoes as new continental crust.
