divergent plate boundary
Transform boundary.
A convergent plate boundary creates a deep ocean trench along the edge of a continent. In this boundary type, an oceanic plate is forced beneath a continental plate, leading to the formation of the trench due to subduction.
The Divergent Boundaries.
Mount Nyiragongo is located at a divergent plate boundary where the African Plate is pulling away from the East African Rift. This type of boundary is associated with the formation of rift valleys and volcanic activity.

The Divergent Boundaries.
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.
A divergent plate boundary creates a mid-ocean ridge. This occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other, leading to the upwelling of magma from the mantle, creating new oceanic crust at the mid-ocean ridge.
Another name for a constructive boundary is a divergent boundary. This type of boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other, leading to the formation of new crust. It is characterized by volcanic activity and the creation of rift valleys.

At a diverging boundary, tectonic plates move away from each other. This results in the formation of new crust as magma rises to fill the gap created by the separating plates. As the magma cools and solidifies, it creates new oceanic crust on the seafloor or volcanic activity on land.
