Answer:

It will widen.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Divergence is the process of plates moving in the opposite direction and way from each other as a result the new crust is formed on the seafloor and hence younger rocks can be seen near the mid-oceanic ridge and older rocks at the margins of the coasts.
  • The splitting of the crust can be seen from the example of Atlantic ocean that in S shape and expanding at a continuous rate.
