This tectonic boundary is known as a divergent boundary which will cause the formation of normals faults, leading to horst and graben structures. If the tensile stress is maintained and divergence continues, this will form a rift valley and ultimately due to the thinning of the crust, the creation of a new ocean and mid ocean spreading centre.
A fault.
Trenches if they are in zones of subduction. Falt lines are in areas of shifting plates (rubbing against or parallel)
Rift valleys form at divergent boundaries when tectonic plates move apart. As the plates separate, they create a gap where molten rock can rise from the mantle, solidify, and form new crust. This process leads to the formation of deep cracks and fissures in the Earth's crust.
Yes, deep cracks in the Earth's crust where rocks move in opposite directions are known as faults. These geological features occur due to tectonic forces, causing stress to build up in the crust until it is released as an earthquake. The movement along faults can be horizontal or vertical, depending on the type of fault. Common types include strike-slip faults, where the movement is primarily horizontal, and normal or reverse faults, which involve vertical displacement.
Molten rock deep beneath the Earth's crust is called magma.

The earths crust its 5-70km deep in the ocean and upto 100km deep at mountain ranges. At certain areas, the crust is unstable due to moving plate tectonics.

Minerals can form deep inside Earth's crust through a process called crystallization from cooling magma or hydrothermal activity where hot water dissolves and transports minerals to deposit them in cracks and fissures. This process allows for the growth and development of a wide variety of minerals over extended periods of time.
