When a divergent plate boundary moves, tectonic plates separate from each other, leading to the formation of new oceanic crust as magma rises from the mantle to fill the gap. This process often creates mid-ocean ridges and can result in volcanic activity and earthquakes. Over time, the movement can also lead to the widening of ocean basins. As the plates continue to diverge, the geological features and ecosystems in the area can change significantly.
The kind of plate boundary that moves apart is a Divergent Plate Boundary
Convergent on the western perimeter, divergent on the Easter perimeter.

The mid-ocean ridge system is the longest continuous divergent plate boundary on Earth.

The Divergent Boundaries.
Convergent plate boundary, divergent plate boundary and strike-slip (transform) plate boundary.
A divergent plate boundary.
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 refers to a plate boundary where plates are moving apart. Plates are not referred to in terms of their boundary movements.
the direction divergent boundaries move from is away from each other.
