Detailed explanation-1: -Divergent boundaries are spreading boundaries, where new oceanic crust is created to fill in the space as the plates move apart. Most divergent boundaries are located along mid-ocean oceanic ridges (although some are on land).
Detailed explanation-2: -A divergent plate boundary often forms a mountain chain known as a ridge. This feature forms as magma escapes into the space between the spreading tectonic plates.
Detailed explanation-3: -what is a tectonic plate boundary? A tectonic plate boundary is the border between two plates. The tectonic plates slowly and constantly move but in many different directions. Some are moving toward each other, some are moving apart, and some are grinding past each other.
Detailed explanation-4: -Divergent Plate Boundary. Volcanic eruptions and shallow earthquakes are common where plates rip apart. Convergent Plate Boundary. Transform Plate Boundary. Hotspot. 11-Feb-2020
