The mid-ocean ridge system is the longest continuous divergent plate boundary on Earth.
Convergent on the western perimeter, divergent on the Easter perimeter.

The Divergent Boundaries.
At a divergent plate boundary, tectonic plates move away from each other. As they separate, magma rises upward from the mantle, creating new crust. This process is known as seafloor spreading and can lead to the formation of mid-ocean ridges.
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge separates the North American plate from the African plate. This ridge runs through the Atlantic Ocean and marks the boundary where the two plates are moving apart.
Divergent boundaries is the other name for a spreading plate boundary.
