On land, this forms a rift valley. When the surface is submerged, it is called seafloor spreading.

At what boundaries do plates move apart?
Divergent boundary.
What are the types of divergent boundaries?
The 3 general types are constructive, destructive, and conservative boundaries. Constructive (divergent) - plates move away from each other, typically creating a rift Destructive (convergent) - one plate will be subducted, or continental plates collide Conservative (transform) - plates grind past each other, stalling and slipping
What types of plates move apart?
divergent plate boundaries do.
What are divergent boundaries?
Divergent boundaries are areas where continental or oceanic plates are moving away from each other and creating new crust. Examples would be the Mid-Oceanic Ridge and the East African Rift Zone.
How are the movement of plates at divergent boundaries and transform boundaries similar?
They are not similar, divergent boundaries are where the move apart. transform boundaries are where the two plates rub together and move in opposite directions with great force.
At what boundaries do plates move apart?

What happens divergent boundaries?
divergent boundaries happen when 2 plates move apart or divide
