The mid-ocean ridge is formed along a divergent or constructive plate boundary between two plates of oceanic crust. A classic example is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where the Eurasian and African Plates are moving away from the North and South American Plates.
A underwater diverging plate boundary is at a mid-ocean ridge.

False, Iceland is the only place in the world that a mid-ocean ridge, or a volcano from a mid-ocean ridge become subaerial.

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.

Most divergent boundaries can be found on the ocean floor. divergent boundaries create Rift Valleys An example of this is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge discovered by Harry Hess.

The neovolcanic zone of the mid-ocean mountain ridges. The zone around Iceland is very active and some volcanoes have large glaciers formed above them.
The tallest fault block mountain in the world is Mt. Whitney in the Sierra Nevada. It is 14,505 feet tall, or 4,421 meters.
