In ocean basins
Middle of the ocean floor, around the edges of the continents, and within the continents.
No. Many plate boundaries are on the seafloor far from continents and several are well within continents.
No, divergent plate boundaries can occur both on the ocean floor and on land. When they occur on the ocean floor, they create mid-ocean ridges, while on land they can create rift valleys.
South America and Australia are two continents whose edges are not all situated on plate boundaries. These continents have regions that are not along plate boundaries due to the complexities of the Earth's tectonic plates.
The continents and ocean floor are unstable because the plates of the lithosphere move. When the plate move, they cause the continents and ocean floor to move.

Middle of the ocean floor, around the edges of the continents, and within the continents.
The breakup of Pangaea involved the gradual drifting apart of the tectonic plates carrying the continents. This movement created new ocean basins and shifted landmasses to their current positions over millions of years. Today's configuration of continents is a result of this ongoing process of plate tectonics.
No. Not all plate boundaries are at the edges of continents, nor do all edges of continents correspond with plate boundaries. Many plate boundaries are found in the middle of oceans, while the continent of Africa is being torn apart by a developing plate boundary. Some edges of continents, such as the west coast of South America are near plate boundaries. These are called active continental margins. Others, such as the east coast of North America, are nowhere near plate boundaries. These are called passive continental margins.
