∙ 11y agoidk. ask your mother she might no. jk! i just kidding seriously. a transvergent boundary, i believe, is when the tectonic plates are moving over and down. they are sliding over each other and going downwards. i sincerelly hope this helps whoever reads this! :) :)

∙ 14y agoA divergent boundary are tectonic plates moving away from each other. As opposed to convergent boundary in which plates are moving toward each other.

What is a boundary where 2 plates move apart?
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
What is the direction of movement from a divergent boundary?
the direction divergent boundaries move from is away from each other.
What are the examples of divergent boundary?
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.
What are some real life examples of Divergent Boundary?

Divergent boundary tectonic plates?
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.
What is a boundary where 2 plates move apart?
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
What type of boundary is formed when plate separate?
Divergent boundary is formed
What type of boundary occurs between the max a plate and the South American plate?
Convergent on the western perimeter, divergent on the Easter perimeter.
What feature is formed in divergent boundary?
A divergent boundary's feature is a Mid-Ocean Ridge if the divergent boundary is underwater.
What is a sentence with the word divergent boundary?
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.
Which type of boundaries is seafloor created by?
Seafloor is created at divergent plate boundaries called the mid-ocean ridges.
What plate boundary separates the North American plate from the African plate?
Divergent plate boundary
What type of boundary does the red sea affect?
I believe the red sea is located at a divergent plate boundary.
Volcano villarrica located on divergent or convrgent boundary?
divergent boundary
What is created a divergent boundary?
a rift valley forms along the divergent boundary
What boundary creates a crust?
The Divergent Boundaries.
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
