This is known as tensile stress.
Stress at a divergent plate boundary is called tensional stress. This stress creates pulling forces that lead to the plates moving away from each other, resulting in the formation of new oceanic crust.
This is known as tensile stress.
Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
Seafloor is created at divergent plate boundaries called the mid-ocean ridges.

It is called a divergent plate boundary.
Tensional stress
Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
Seafloor is created at divergent plate boundaries called the mid-ocean ridges.
A. Divergent
Divergent boundary is formed
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
A divergent boundary causes tensional stress, where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. This stress results in the stretching and thinning of the Earth's crust, leading to the formation of new crust through volcanic activity and seafloor spreading.
Convergent on the western perimeter, divergent on the Easter perimeter.
Often, a divergent boundary within a continent will produce rifts, which will produce rift valleys. A divergent boundary may also be referred to as an extensional boundary, a constructive boundary, or a divergent plate boundary.
