Answer:

Divergent plate

Step-by-step explanation:

A semi ocean ridge is formed by the interaction of divergent boundaries. Around divergent plate boundaries, as additional sea floor is formed as the Earth's tectonic plates expand outward, half ridges form. Igneous material grows to the ocean bottom when the plates split, resulting in massive basalt volcanic activity.
