GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In plate tectonics, a divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary (also known as a constructive boundary or an extensional boundary) is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.

Detailed explanation-2: -At divergent boundaries, sometimes called constructive boundaries, lithospheric plates move away from each other. There are two types of divergent boundaries, categorized by where they occur: continental rift zones and mid-ocean ridges. Continental rift zones occur in weak spots in the continental lithospheric plate.

Detailed explanation-3: -At constructive plate boundaries, also known as divergent boundaries, tectonic plates move away from one another to produce volcanoes. Hot magma rises from the mantle at mid-ocean ridges, pushing the plates apart.

Detailed explanation-4: -A divergent boundary, or constructive boundary, is where two sections of the eggshell-two tectonic plates-are moving away from each other. When this happens, they leave a gap in-between, and this gap can be filled by the magma from below. This creates a series of volcanoes all the way along the boundary.

Detailed explanation-5: -A convergent boundary (also known as a destructive boundary) is an area on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide. One plate eventually slides beneath the other, a process known as subduction. The subduction zone can be defined by a plane where many earthquakes occur, called the Wadati–Benioff zone.
