A divergent plate boundary is one where the two plates on either side of the boundary are moving apart; 'di-' meaning away. Convergent plates are moving together.

Divergent Plate Boundaries
No, subduction is not common at divergent plate boundaries. Divergent plate boundaries are characterized by plates moving away from each other, which creates new oceanic crust. Subduction occurs at convergent plate boundaries where plates collide and one descends beneath the other.
There are divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.

plant boundaries move together
The four types of plate boundaries are divergent boundaries (plates moving apart), convergent boundaries (plates moving together), transform boundaries (plates sliding past each other), and subduction zones (one plate sinking beneath another).

The Divergent Boundaries.
Plate boundaries are places where two tectonic plates meet. There are three major types of plate boundaries. These are divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
