Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
The Divergent Boundaries.
A divergent boundary created the mid-ocean ridge. At this boundary, tectonic plates are moving away from each other, allowing magma to rise and create new oceanic crust along the ridge.
No. New oceanic crust is formed at a divergent boundary. A convergent boundary neither creates nor destroys crust.
The mid-ocean ridge is formed along a divergent or constructive plate boundary between two plates of oceanic crust. A classic example is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where the Eurasian and African Plates are moving away from the North and South American Plates.

New crust is formed at a divergent boundary
A divergent boundary created the mid-ocean ridge. At this boundary, tectonic plates are moving away from each other, allowing magma to rise and create new oceanic crust along the ridge.
It creates a divergent boundary.
Crust is being made there, from the upwelling of magma.
This would be called a Spreading center, or a divergent plate boundary.
No. New oceanic crust is formed at a divergent boundary. A convergent boundary neither creates nor destroys crust.
