separating plates
Divergent plates. They form a divergent plate boundary.
Divergent refers to a plate boundary where plates are moving apart. Plates are not referred to in terms of their boundary movements.
Both transform boundaries and divergent boundaries involve movement of Earth's tectonic plates. However, transform boundaries involve plates sliding past each other horizontally, while divergent boundaries involve plates moving away from each other.
Plates move apart at divergent boundaries, also known as spreading centers. This process is usually associated with the formation of new crust as magma rises from the mantle to fill in the gap created by the moving plates. An example of a divergent boundary is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Plates are moved at a divergent boundary by the magma pushing upwards.

Divergent plates
Divergent plates are found in places where the tectonic plates are moving away from each other.
