Divergent plates
Divergent
Yes, but no with each other. They can meet other plates.
When two plates move away from each other it is called a divergent plate boundary because they are dividing.
divergent plate
When it is two continental plates, new oceanic crust is formed, and when this continues, more oceanic crust is formed between the plates.
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
A divergent plate boundary lies between two plates that are moving away from each other. At these boundaries, new crust is created as magma rises up from below the Earth's surface and solidifies, pushing the plates apart.
the two plates are moving away from each other, and new crust is formed.
