they move against one another
as the plates move towards each other the denser plate subducts into the asthenphere
these create rift valleys
the direction divergent boundaries move from is away from each other.

Divergent means to move away from each other. EX. Some of Earth's tectonic plates are divergent, or move away from each other. So magnets opposing one another are DIVERGENT ?
The three main types of plate movements are convergent, where plates move towards each other; divergent, where plates move away from each other; and transform, where plates slide past each other horizontally.
Plates either move towards each other (convergent plates), away from each other (divergent plates) or slide next to each other (transform plates).
The tectonic plates move divergent when they move away from each other, convergent when they are colliding with each other, and trasform when they slide past each other.
This is called a convergent boundary. A divergent boundary is when plate move away from each other, and a transform boundary is when plates slide past each other.
At a convergent boundary, plates move towards each other.
Convergent plates move towards each other, causing alot of compressional forces. Divergent plates move away from each other causing alot of tensional forces.
The three main types of plate boundaries are convergent boundaries, where plates move toward each other, divergent boundaries, where plates move away from each other, and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally.
The three main plate movements are: 1) Divergent boundary, where plates move away from each other; 2) Convergent boundary, where plates move towards each other; and 3) Transform boundary, where plates slide past each other horizontally.
convergent
The three types of plate tectonic boundaries are divergent boundaries, where plates move apart; convergent boundaries, where plates collide; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally.
At convergent boundaries, plates do not slide past each other. Instead, they move towards each other and collide or subduct under one another. This collision or subduction process is what characterizes convergent plate boundaries.
One of the three types of plates are the transform plates slip past each other. The convergent plates push together. The divergent plates pull away from each other.
