divergent
divergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move apart from each other. convergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move towards each other so that one plate can sink beneath the other. transform plate boundary- a boundary where one plate slips along side another plate.

The main types of tectonic plate boundaries are divergent boundaries, where plates move apart; convergent boundaries, where plates move toward each other; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally.

Divergent boundaries were identified and described through plate tectonics theory in the mid-20th century. The concept of the divergent boundary originated from the work of scientists such as Alfred Wegener and Harry Hess. It became widely accepted in the 1960s and 1970s as more evidence supporting plate tectonics emerged.

Divergent Plate Boundaries
No, subduction is not common at divergent plate boundaries. Divergent plate boundaries are characterized by plates moving away from each other, which creates new oceanic crust. Subduction occurs at convergent plate boundaries where plates collide and one descends beneath the other.
There are divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.

The four types of plate boundaries are divergent boundaries (plates moving apart), convergent boundaries (plates moving together), transform boundaries (plates sliding past each other), and subduction zones (one plate sinking beneath another).
