Constructive plate boundaries are sites where new lithosphere is created - by sea floor spreading. You can use this site to see the evidence for the creation of new sea floor, from the pattern of magnetic anomalies.

Plate boundaries are found at the edge of the lithospheric plates and are of three types, convergent, divergent and conservative. Wide zones of deformation are usually characteristic of plate boundaries because of the interaction between two plates.

Destructive plates come together and constructive plates move apart.... Yes i know it sounds backwards but it's right =)

› Constructive plate boundaries ... This resource covers constructive plate boundaries, where new lithosphere is created by sea floor spreading. The notes detail the evidence for the spreading process including magnetic anomalies and the relationship between the age of a plate and its distance from the ridge.

In Iceland the exposed crust is composed of a lava pile of Late Tertiary to Holocene age which in detail is built up of overlapping lenticular units.
