Examples of a divergent boundary would be a mid-ocean ridge. Two plates are pulling apart from each other. If you have heard before, the magma from the asthenosphere find a way to get out through the crack of the diverging plates and makes new land. Another type of devergent boundary would be a fissure. It is a long linear crack made by the plates moving apart. I think maybe another one would probably be a volcano, but I am not sure.

∙ 14y agoThe mid Atlantic ridge is the most well known divergent plate boundary. The are divergent plate boundaries in every ocean. A divergent plate boundary is where the two plates are moving away from each other.

What is a boundary where 2 plates move apart?
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
What are some real life examples of Divergent Boundary?
a girl cheating on her boyfriend and they aint showing love anymore
What is the direction of movement from a divergent boundary?
the direction divergent boundaries move from is away from each other.
What does a Divergent Boundary do?
these create rift valleys
Divergent boundary tectonic plates?
In plate tectonics, a Divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary (also known as a constructive boundary or an extensional boundary) is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other. These areas can form on the end of continents but eventually form ocean basins. Divergent boundaries within continents initially produce rifts which produce rift valleys. Therefore, most active divergent plate boundaries are between oceanic platesand are often called mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries also form volcanic islands which occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps which molten lava rises to fill. Thus creating a shield volcano which would eventually build up to become a volcanic island.
What is a boundary where 2 plates move apart?
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
What type of boundary is formed when plate separate?
Divergent boundary is formed
What type of boundary occurs between the max a plate and the South American plate?
Convergent on the western perimeter, divergent on the Easter perimeter.
What feature is formed in divergent boundary?
A divergent boundary's feature is a Mid-Ocean Ridge if the divergent boundary is underwater.
What is a sentence with the word divergent boundary?
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.
Which type of boundaries is seafloor created by?
Seafloor is created at divergent plate boundaries called the mid-ocean ridges.
What plate boundary separates the North American plate from the African plate?
Divergent plate boundary
What type of boundary does the red sea affect?
