It forms a rift valley.
Divergent plate boundary
The 3 general types are constructive, destructive, and conservative boundaries. Constructive (divergent) - plates move away from each other, typically creating a rift Destructive (convergent) - one plate will be subducted, or continental plates collide Conservative (transform) - plates grind past each other, stalling and slipping
Divergent refers to a plate boundary where plates are moving apart. Plates are not referred to in terms of their boundary movements.
When continental plates pull apart at a divergent boundary on land, it can lead to the formation of rift valleys. Magma rises to the surface creating new crust, which can eventually separate the landmass into two distinct plates. Over time, this process can create new ocean basins if the divergence continues.

Divergent boundary
divergent boundary
When two plates are pulling apart, it is known as divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary. This type of boundary results in the formation of new crust as magma rises to the surface and solidifies.
