Divergent plate boundary
Divergent plate boundaries form once two plates begin to pull apart from each other.
Convergent: plates move into one another.Divergent: plates move apart.Transform: plates move sideways in relation to each other.
When to plates pull apart on the ocean floor it's called "Tectonic Plate Drift or, "Contenetial Drift." This allows countries to move centimeters every year in any direction the plate travel. Sometimes the plates rub and can cause earthquakes ,volcanos or tsunamis.
When there is a divergent boundary, regardless if the plates are ocean-ocean or continental-continental, tensional stress pulls on the crust. Rocks have weaker tensional strength than compressive strength, so they are easier to pull apart.
This is known as a rift valley. it forms at a divergent boundary.

Diverging Plate Boundary
divergent boundary
A volcano will form at the boundary of two plates moving apart. This is because the two plates moving apart create a crack allowing molten lava to flow up from the mantle.
A divergant plate boundary.
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
Convergent: plates move into one another.Divergent: plates move apart.Transform: plates move sideways in relation to each other.
Tensional boundary is the meeting zone of two tectonic plates at a normal fault; the plates move apart

divergent boundary
When two lithosphere plates move apart a divergent boundary is formed. Hope this helps you. :D
