Examples of a divergent boundary would be a mid-ocean ridge. Two plates are pulling apart from each other. If you have heard before, the magma from the asthenosphere find a way to get out through the crack of the diverging plates and makes new land. Another type of devergent boundary would be a fissure. It is a long linear crack made by the plates moving apart. I think maybe another one would probably be a volcano, but I am not sure.
The mid Atlantic ridge is the most well known divergent plate boundary. The are divergent plate boundaries in every ocean. A divergent plate boundary is where the two plates are moving away from each other.
An Example of a Divergent Boundary would be the place where 2 plates move apart or Diverge

An example of this is an ocean boundary
Mid-atlantic ridge.
Mid-Atlantic Ridge and East Pacific Rise
The mid-Atlantic ridge.
It is called a divergent plate boundary.

the direction divergent boundaries move from is away from each other.
these create rift valleys
In plate tectonics, a Divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary (also known as a constructive boundary or an extensional boundary) is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other. These areas can form on the end of continents but eventually form ocean basins. Divergent boundaries within continents initially produce rifts which produce rift valleys. Therefore, most active divergent plate boundaries are between oceanic platesand are often called mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries also form volcanic islands which occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps which molten lava rises to fill. Thus creating a shield volcano which would eventually build up to become a volcanic island.

Divergent boundary is formed
Convergent on the western perimeter, divergent on the Easter perimeter.
A divergent boundary's feature is a Mid-Ocean Ridge if the divergent boundary is underwater.
Often, a divergent boundary within a continent will produce rifts, which will produce rift valleys. A divergent boundary may also be referred to as an extensional boundary, a constructive boundary, or a divergent plate boundary.
Seafloor is created at divergent plate boundaries called the mid-ocean ridges.
Divergent plate boundary
I believe the red sea is located at a divergent plate boundary.
divergent boundary
a rift valley forms along the divergent boundary
