A divergent boundary results in the separation of tectonic plates, leading to the creation of new crust as magma rises up and solidifies at the boundary. This process can form features such as mid-ocean ridges or rift valleys on land.
The antonym for divergent boundary is convergent boundary. In a divergent boundary, tectonic plates move away from each other, while in a convergent boundary, they move towards each other. This can result in subduction zones, mountain formation, or continental collision.
Convergent on the western perimeter, divergent on the Easter perimeter.
Constructive or divergent. The ridge formed is of basaltic rock type (though this is a generalisation), and is a source of volcanic activity. Iceland was formed as a result of the sea-floor spreading.
Seafloor is created at divergent plate boundaries called the mid-ocean ridges.
Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
No, the Alps are not a divergent boundary. The Alps are a mountain range formed from the collision of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates, a result of convergent boundary activity.
The antonym for divergent boundary is convergent boundary. In a divergent boundary, tectonic plates move away from each other, while in a convergent boundary, they move towards each other. This can result in subduction zones, mountain formation, or continental collision.
It is called a divergent plate boundary.

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.
Seafloor is created at divergent plate boundaries called the mid-ocean ridges.
The Andes are a result of the convergent boundary between the Nazca and South American Plate.

I believe the red sea is located at a divergent plate boundary.
a rift valley forms along the divergent boundary
