When plates move apart from each other, it's known as divergent plate boundary. This process usually happens along mid-ocean ridges where new crust is formed as magma rises and solidifies.
Convergent and divergent boundaries are terms used in plate tectonics to describe the juncture at two plates and how they move in relation to each other. Divergent plates move apart and convergent move towards each other.
At Divergent Plate Boundaries.
divergent plate boundaries do.
This tends to occur below a constructive / divergent plate boundary so the plates will move away from each other.
divergent boundaries happen when 2 plates move apart or divide
along divergent boundaries tectonic plates move apart & rifts are created
Plates are moved at a divergent boundary by the magma pushing upwards.

Convergent plates move towards each other, causing alot of compressional forces. Divergent plates move away from each other causing alot of tensional forces.
