Where two tectonic plates are moving farther away from each other, like at the Great Rift Valley in Africa.
Most spreading boundaries occur along fault lines.
The mid-ocean ridges are examples of divergent boundaries, where plates are moving in opposite directions, creating new crust.
Oceanic ridges.
A divergent boundary's feature is a Mid-Ocean Ridge if the divergent boundary is underwater.

A divergent plate boundary.
Divergent
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
Divergent boundary is formed
Convergent on the western perimeter, divergent on the Easter perimeter.
A divergent boundary's feature is a Mid-Ocean Ridge if the divergent boundary is underwater.
Often, a divergent boundary within a continent will produce rifts, which will produce rift valleys. A divergent boundary may also be referred to as an extensional boundary, a constructive boundary, or a divergent plate boundary.
Seafloor is created at divergent plate boundaries called the mid-ocean ridges.
Divergent plate boundary
I believe the red sea is located at a divergent plate boundary.
