Its is Divergent Boundary, because it is moving Apart from each other. Convergent is moving together.
convergent boundary
Long crack that forms as two tectonic plates move apart
Oceanic trenches are the gaps which form when the tectonic plates move apart. They are the very deepest parts of the ocean.
The tectonic plates move at about the same speed your finger nails grow. The gap the plates create when they move apart is constantly being closed up by magma moving up from the mantle.

Divergent Boundary
The movement of tectonic plates in opposite directions is referred to as a divergent boundary.
Divergent plate movement.
At a divergent boundary tectonic plates move apart.
Long crack that forms as two tectonic plates move apart
Tectonic plates have been pulling apart forever. At least all the time the earth has been around.
At a divergent plat boundary the plates are moving APART in opposite directions and this is a constructive plate boundary.A transform boundary is one where the plates are SLIDING past each other in opposite directions.
Tectonic plates interact at plate boundariesThey move apart at divergent boundaries
Divergent plates are tectonic earth plates that spread slowly apart.
it is usually the boundary of two tectonic plates that are slipping past each other in opposite directions, or they could be pulling apart from one another due to volcanic activity. literal definition; to crack.
Converging plates come together. They converge together. Diverging plates come apart.
A boundary of plate divergence, (divergent boundary).
A brief description of each with occurences:Convergent--the collision of two plates from opposite directions. Mountain formation, volcanic activity, earthquakes. Divergent--The pulling apart of two plates in opposite directions. Creation of new crust with volcanism. Ridges. Transform--Where plates slide past each other. Earthquakes, fault mountains.
