Divergent and convergent boundaries are two of three primary Tectonic plate boundaries, the third being Transform boundaries. These plates change the surface of the Earth. As divergent boundaries pull apart, layers of new crust build up on both sides of the breaking land mass, causing a rift/divide. The surrounding body of water, if one is present, eventually fills this space. Convergent boundaries are the result of Earth's plates clashing and one going beneath the other. Instead of crust building it is eliminated and returned to the Earth to be recycled for use again. A term applied to this occurrence is Subduction Zone; often seen with convergent boundaries are the formation of volcanos and mountains.
You would expect to find a fold mountain range at a convergent or collision boundary rather than at a divergent boundary such as a mid ocean ridge.
A divergent boundary are two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other, rather than into each other. This can cause rifts, valleys, and ocean ridges.
A convergent boundary between two continental plates causes both plates to crumple to form fold mountains e.g. the HimalayasA convergent boundary between a continental and an oceanic causes one to rise above the other. Granite is less dense than basalt, so the continental plate rises above the oceanic plate. This also forms mountains, like the Andes.
Yes. Due to the thinness of the lithosphere at the divergent plate boundary, and the upwelling of hot mantle rock.
A convergent boundary with no subduction is a continental-continental boundary. Because oceanic crust is denser than continental crust, it is always the subducting plate in a oceanic-continental boundary. In an oceanic-oceanic boundary, one of the plates will subduct, depending on several factors. Continental plates are thicker and less dense than oceanic plates, and when they converge, they push up the area where the plates meet, forming mountain ranges (note that this is not the only, or even the predominant, method of mountain formation). The Himalayas are being formed as a result of a continental-continental boundary.
The Nazca plate has more than one boundary. The western and northern boundaries are divergent as the plates are moving apart from one another. However, the Nazca plate's eastern boundary is convergent as it collides with and subducts under the South American Plate.
why lenght of divergent cone is larger than convergent cone in venturi meter

Convergent (or destructive): Where two plates are moving toward each other. Collisions between oceanic plates results in subduction of the more dense plate. Collisions between an oceanic plate and a continental plate may result in the subduction of the oceanic plate because oceanic plates are more dense than continental plates. Collisions between two continental plates results in uplift and mountain formation where neither plate subducts.Divergent (or constructive): Where two plates are moving away from each other. Divergent plate boundaries are the site of new crust formation, particularly at the mid-ocean ridges, where spreading plates are infilled with basaltic magma from the asthenosphere.Transform (or conservative): Where two plates slide (actually 'grind') alongside each other and neither plate subducts. Earthquakes are common at transform faults due to the grinding and snapping movements of the plates as they move.
In case of venturi meter, at the diverging section mach number is less than 1. however in diverging section of a nozzle mach number is greater than 1.

not percisely because well of your refering to in hundreds of years than yes but if your not than no.

Because, the molten material that moves into the fissures and cracks between diverging plates is no thicker than the existing plates. The plate will then probably be destroyed at the other end, due to a convergent boundary :)
Yes. Due to the thinness of the lithosphere at the divergent plate boundary, and the upwelling of hot mantle rock.

its a convergent plate boundary between either the North American or South American Plate and the Caribbean plate. It's not fully understood which of the two plates is descending underneath the Caribbean plate. Edited: It is a oceanic-continental convergent boundary. The Atlantic and the Caribbean plates.
