Divergent Boundary

As plates move away from each other, the lithosphere
thins. New oceanic lithosphere is created when basalt
magma from the mantle is forced up into fractures in
the crust. The submarine mid-ocean ridges form the lon-
gest mountain ranges in the world.

@vanitatejwani with a 26 second video you aced your science test?

Ok so have I understood it right?The hot magma underneath the sea floors make the floor apart from eachother and the top gets bended and gets higher. Then, when the magma comes out, it fills the open place and there appears a mid ocean ridge. The new floor gets apart too and the same process reapeats and the width is growing along with the hight. Am i wrong please xplain i have test soon
