An example of divergent plate movement is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates are moving apart. This movement creates new oceanic crust as magma rises from the mantle to fill the gap, leading to volcanic activity and the formation of underwater mountains. Divergent boundaries can also occur on land, such as the East African Rift, where tectonic plates are splitting apart.
A volcano itself is not an example of a plate boundary. They are found at divergent and convergent boundaries.
divergent plate movement
An example of a divergent plate boundary is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the Eurasian Plate and North American Plate are moving apart. An example of a transform plate boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California, where the Pacific Plate and North American Plate are sliding past each other horizontally.
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.
There are actually 4 types.....1.convergent-two plates pushing toward each other2.divergent-Two plates moving apart3.subduction-one plate is pulled under the edge of another4.Transform\lateral-Two plates slide past each other

Convergent,Divergent, and Transform Boundaries
The East African Rift Valley
a divergent plate boundary.
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
the three types of plate boundaries are : -convergent plate boundaries -divergent plate boundaries -transformed plate boundaries
