The Mid-Atlantic Ridge represents a divergent plate boundary.
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) is a mid-ocean ridge, a divergent tectonic plate boundary located along the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, and part of thelongest mountain range in the world. It separates the Eurasian Plate and North American Plate in the North Atlantic, and the African Plate from the South American Plate in the South Atlantic. The Ridge extends from a junction with the Gakkel Ridge (Mid-Arctic Ridge) northeast of Greenland southward to theBouvet Triple Junction in the South Atlantic. Although the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is mostly an underwater feature, portions of it have enough elevation to extend above sea level. The section of the ridge which includes the island of Iceland is also known as the Reykjanes Ridge. The average spreading rate for the ridge is about 2.5 cm per year.[1]en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_Ridge
A mid-ocean ridge forms at the divergent plate boundary. This boundary initially forms rifts that later on become rift valleys.

The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a divergent plate boundary, also known as a spreading center.

A divergent plate boundary.
Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a divergent plate boundary, meaning the two plates are moving away from each other.
The mid-ocean ridge is formed along a divergent or constructive plate boundary between two plates of oceanic crust. A classic example is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where the Eurasian and African Plates are moving away from the North and South American Plates.
A constructive/divergent plate boundary
It is a transform boundary.
destructive plate boundary
It is called the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
