Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. Along these boundaries, earthquakes are common and magma (molten rock) rises from the Earth’s mantle to the surface, solidifying to create new oceanic crust. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is an example of divergent plate boundaries .
Detailed explanation-2: -False, because the correct statement is: There are three types of divergent plate boundaries, namely continental-continental, oceanic-continental, and oceanic-oceanic.
