rift
Itis called a rift.
tectonic plates
When oceanic plates diverge an underwater earthquake is the result. Oceanic earthquakes often result in disastrous Tsunamis.
A rift.
A mid-ocean ridge is formed when plates diverge or move apart. This is where new crust is created as magma rises to fill the gap created by the separating plates.

rift vally on land, and mid-ocean ridge under water
When two continental plates diverge, a rift valley forms due to the pulling apart of the Earth's crust. Magma rises to fill the gap created by the separating plates, eventually leading to the formation of new oceanic crust. Over time, this process can result in the formation of a new ocean basin.
To diverge means to move apart.
yes it does
