no
No, when two continental plates diverge, a divergent boundary forms, not a transform boundary. At a divergent boundary, the plates move away from each other, leading to the formation of rift valleys or mid-ocean ridges. Transform boundaries occur where two plates slide past each other horizontally.
yes it does
When two continental plates diverge, a rift valley forms due to the pulling apart of the Earth's crust. Magma rises to fill the gap created by the separating plates, eventually leading to the formation of new oceanic crust. Over time, this process can result in the formation of a new ocean basin.
An earth quake. This happens because the vibrations force the plates apart
At transform boundaries the plates slide past each other.

When two continental plates diverge, a rift valley is formed as the Earth's crust splits apart. Magma rises to the surface and creates new crust, eventually leading to the formation of a mid-ocean ridge.
Normally a Divergent boundary because as the plates diverge, lava spews out, but they can also form at a Convergent boundary, or, although less likely, a transform boundary.
1. Oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary. 2. Continental-continental convergent plate boundary. and 3. Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.
When continental plates move toward each other, it is called a convergent plate boundary. This can lead to the collision and subduction of the plates, causing mountain building and deep ocean trench formation.
the oceanic plates are denser than continental plates, therefore, when oceanic plates and continental plates converge, the oceanic will go under the continental plates. But when two oceanic converge either both will rise to form moutains, or both will sink and cause a trench.
