Answer:

hot magma rises up and fills the space between

Step-by-step explanation:

Plate movement can also cause other natural phenomena, like volcanoes. ... When tectonic plates spread apart from each other, hot magma rises up and fills the space between. As it cools, it forms new land, either on the continents or on the seafloor, depending on where the plates are located.
