2 plate tectonic plates that move away from each other. The most active divergent boundaries are between mid-oceanic ridges . A divergent boundary is an area in the Earth's crust where two plates have been pulled apart like at a spreading center.
A divergent boundary is when two plates are moving away from each other.
A divergent boundary is an area where 2 plates are moving apart. This is caused by tensional forces. The result is upwelling magma from the mantle that creates new oceanic crust.
See link below for illustration of a divergent plate boundary.
When the two plates move apart.
it is a type of plate boundary that move away from euchre's a result of the spreading of boundaries, new ocean floor is created. this mainly happens on the ocean floor and results in mid-ocean ridges
Divergent plate boundaries are the areas between tectonic plates where new crust is created as the plates move away from each other. A rift or deep valley may appear over time or land may split into distinct land masses with the surrounding water filling the space between them.
A divergent plate boundary is the area where two plates are moving away from one another. This allows magma to rise up, from between the plates, forming new plate material, island chains, etc.
A Divergent boundary is when two tectonic plates pull away from each other. (this can form a volcano because magma will come up through the crack in the earth)
A divergent plate boundary is one where the two plates on either side of the boundary are moving apart; 'di-' meaning away. Convergent plates are moving together.

Diverging Plate Boundaries
Ridges of buoyant oceanic crust form at diverging oceanic plate boundaries.
No. Diverging means "moving apart." Subduction occurs at convergent plate boundaries, where two plates come together and one slides under the other.
it is on a convergent plate boundry
At diverging plate boundaries, you get a rift valley.

A convergent boundry is creating the shiveluch volcano in Russia. The Eurasian plate collides with the Pacific plate
Accretion plate boundary
The Nubian/African boundry and the Somalian boundry
Diverging boundary
A mid ocean ridge is a diverging plate boundary so the simple answer is yes.
A destructive plate boundary :)
The Bárðarbunga volcano in Iceland (currently erupting) is an example. A diverging plate boundary passes through the island of Iceland.
