A divergent boundary causes tectonic plates to move away from each other, leading to the creation of new crust through volcanic activity. This can result in the formation of mid-ocean ridges and rift valleys.
Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
The Divergent Boundaries.
No. New oceanic crust is formed at a divergent boundary. A convergent boundary neither creates nor destroys crust.
A divergent boundary results in the separation of tectonic plates, leading to the creation of new crust as magma rises up and solidifies at the boundary. This process can form features such as mid-ocean ridges or rift valleys on land.
A divergent boundary created the mid-ocean ridge. At this boundary, tectonic plates are moving away from each other, allowing magma to rise and create new oceanic crust along the ridge.

Divergent plate boundary.
New crust is formed at a divergent boundary
It creates a divergent boundary.
Crust is being made there, from the upwelling of magma.
This would be called a Spreading center, or a divergent plate boundary.
No. New oceanic crust is formed at a divergent boundary. A convergent boundary neither creates nor destroys crust.

how the thin outer crust is floating on the thick liquid mantle, causing the crust to move and form a divergent plate boundary
Sea-Floor Spreading is your answer.
New oceanic crust is created at the mid-oceanic ridges, a divergent plate boundary.
