Rift valley
At a divergent boundary tectonic plates move apart.
Divergent boundary.
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
It forms a rift valley.

Divergent refers to a plate boundary where plates are moving apart. Plates are not referred to in terms of their boundary movements.
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
