Collisions of plates
New crust forms at divergent boundaries, where tectonic plates move away from each other. This process can occur in oceanic or continental crust.
Two landforms created by oceanic-oceanic crust interactions are oceanic ridges and volcanic islands. Oceanic ridges form at divergent plate boundaries where two oceanic plates move apart and magma rises to create new crust. Volcanic islands, on the other hand, form where two oceanic plates converge and one plate subducts beneath the other, leading to volcanic activity and the formation of islands.
rift valleys
Yes, divergent boundaries can occur between continental and oceanic crust. An example of this is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where new oceanic crust is formed as the North American and Eurasian plates move apart. This process leads to seafloor spreading and the creation of new oceanic lithosphere.
Divergent boundaries are areas where continental or oceanic plates are moving away from each other and creating new crust. Examples would be the Mid-Oceanic Ridge and the East African Rift Zone.

rift valleys
Yes; at divergent/constructive boundaries, plates move apart and new oceanic lithosphere forms.

Divergent boundaries form ocean ridges.
At divergent boundaries, three features that can be found include mid-ocean ridges where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity, rift valleys that form on land as tectonic plates pull apart, and shallow earthquakes caused by the movement of the plates.
Mid-ocean ridges are divergent plate boundaries where new oceanic crust forms as tectonic plates move apart. At these boundaries, magma rises from the mantle, cooling and solidifying to create new crust.
New oceanic crust is created at the mid-oceanic ridges, a divergent plate boundary.
A ridge with transverse faults is formed, where new oceanic crust (seafloor) is formed.
