Accretion plate boundary
Diverging tectonic plates.
No, subduction is not characteristic of diverging plate boundaries. Subduction occurs at converging plate boundaries where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate. Diverging plate boundaries are where tectonic plates move away from each other, such as at mid-ocean ridges.
A mid ocean ridge is a diverging plate boundary so the simple answer is yes.
The Bárðarbunga volcano in Iceland (currently erupting) is an example. A diverging plate boundary passes through the island of Iceland.

Submarine volcanoes.
Transform
At diverging plate boundaries, new oceanic crust forms through seafloor spreading. Magma rises to the surface and solidifies, creating mid-ocean ridges. As the plates move apart, they create new oceanic crust, which can lead to the formation of rift valleys.
Most are found on converging
Mountain ranges are normally formed at convergent plate boundaries.
Gannett Peak in Wyoming is part of the Rocky Mountains, which were formed by the collision of the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate. This collision resulted in the uplift and formation of the mountain range through a process called subduction.
