How do Plates move where convection currents are rising-?
This tends to occur below a constructive / divergent plate boundary so the plates will move away from each other.
How are divergent boundary and rift valley related?
Rift Valleys and divergent boundaries occur where two tectonic plates are spreading apart. A good example of a Rift Valley is the one located in Africa between Somalia and Ethiopia.
What do tectonic plates do at a divergent plate boundary?
At a divergent boundary tectonic plates move apart.
What is divergent plates?
separating plates
What are two tectonic plates pulling away called?
Divergent plates. They form a divergent plate boundary.

How are divergent plates different from convergent plates?
Divergent Boundaries happen when two plates (oceanic or contental) begin to diverge, or move apart. Convergent Boundaries occur when two plates (again, oceanic or contential) begin to converge or move apart
Which type of boundary do mid-ocean ridges occur?
divergent
What landforms are formed at diverging boundaries?
In plate tectonics, divergent boundaries occur when plates pull apart. On land, divergent boundaries form rifts or valleys. More commonly, divergent boundaries in the ocean occur and cause mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries can also form volcanoes when the plates separate enough to allow molten lava to seep out, harden, and eventually form islands.
Which plates are constructive?
Divergent plates.

Divergent plate movement?
Divergent plates are plates that are moving away from each other.
How plates move at a divergent boundary?
Plates are moved at a divergent boundary by the magma pushing upwards.
