Answer: As the plates diverge lava pushes through the mantle, cools and forms a new section of crust.

Explanation:  Plates moving slowly along side each other create friction and intense heat as they slide resulting in volcanic activity if the rock melts. Earthquakes can occur if the plate slips sliding away or towards each other.

Explanation:

  • North America and the African plates moved away from each other due to the spreading of the Atlantic ocean and the opening of the mid-Atlantic ridge. That develops a diversion motion and separated the plateau in the west and eastern direction. This also leads to the splitting of the south American plate away from the African continent.
