At a divergent plate boundary, oceanic crust is formed. This occurs as tectonic plates move apart from each other, allowing magma from the mantle to rise and create new oceanic crust as it cools and solidifies. This process is often seen at mid-ocean ridges, where new seafloor is continuously being generated.
