.....tectonic plates
No, subduction is not common at divergent plate boundaries. Divergent plate boundaries are characterized by plates moving away from each other, which creates new oceanic crust. Subduction occurs at convergent plate boundaries where plates collide and one descends beneath the other.
Volcanoes are more common along convergent boundaries where two tectonic plates collide, causing subduction and the melting of rock. Divergent boundaries also have volcanoes, but they are typically less explosive and occur as a result of magma rising to fill the gap created by the moving plates.
Both involve tectonic plate moving relative to one another and help recycle oceanic crust. At divergent boundaries plates move away from each other and new crust is created. At most convergent boundaries oceanic crust is destroyed.Both of these boundary types produce volcanoes.
Rift Valleys are the most common at oceanic-continental convergent boundaries.
There are three main types: Convergent boundaries (where two plates are being pushed together) Divergent boundaries (where two plates are being pulled apart) Transform boundaries (where two plates are sliding past each other).

A reverse fault is usually associated with convergent plate boundaries, where two plates are colliding and one is forced upward over the other. It is less common along divergent boundaries, where plates are moving away from each other.
The things in common is that they form something.

Any type of plate boundary can cause an earthquake. That said, areas along convergent, divergent, and transform tectonic plate boundaries are the most likely places for earthquakes to occur.

Volcanoes are most commonly found along tectonic plate boundaries, particularly at convergent and divergent boundaries. At convergent boundaries, tectonic plates collide, causing one plate to subduct beneath another, leading to magma formation and volcanic activity. At divergent boundaries, plates move apart, allowing magma to rise and create new crust, resulting in volcanic eruptions. Additionally, hotspots, where plumes of magma rise independently of plate boundaries, can also produce volcanoes, as seen in the Hawaiian Islands.
"Divergent" means drawing apart from a common point.
Hekla volcano is located along a divergent plate boundary in Iceland, where the North American and Eurasian plates are moving apart. This movement creates rift zones where volcanic activity is common, including Hekla.
