divergent
Mountains are formed at the boundary where tectonic plates collide or move apart.
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.
When two plates are pulling apart, it is known as divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary. This type of boundary results in the formation of new crust as magma rises to the surface and solidifies.
At a divergent boundary, plates move apart from each other. This movement is caused by the upwelling of magma from the mantle, which creates new crust as it solidifies. This process is known as seafloor spreading. As the new crust forms, it pushes the existing plates away from each other, leading to the separation of the plates at the boundary.
When divergent boundary plates move apart, magma rises from the mantle to fill the gap, creating new oceanic crust. As the crust cools and solidifies, it forms a series of underwater mountain ranges known as mid-ocean ridges.

divergent transform, or convergent
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.
Convergent: plates move into one another.Divergent: plates move apart.Transform: plates move sideways in relation to each other.
