divergent boundary
Convergent: plates move into one another.Divergent: plates move apart.Transform: plates move sideways in relation to each other.
Divergent boundary
divergent boundary
When two lithospheric plates move apart, a divergent boundary is formed. This process results in the creation of new oceanic crust as magma rises to fill the gap between the plates, forming a mid-ocean ridge.
divergent boundary
Tensional boundary is the meeting zone of two tectonic plates at a normal fault; the plates move apart

A plate boundary in the ocean where tectonic plates move apart is called a divergent boundary. At these boundaries, magma rises from the mantle to create new crust as the plates separate. An example of a divergent boundary is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
divergent transform, or convergent
Mountains are formed at the boundary where tectonic plates collide or move apart.
The active boundary between plates is called a plate boundary. It is where tectonic plates meet and interact, leading to various geological processes such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges. Examples of plate boundaries include convergent boundaries where plates collide, divergent boundaries where plates move apart, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other.
